We would also recommend all who appreciate curious works of art and memorials of
departed heroes to pay a morning visit to the Ship Inn where they will be shown
an oil painting a model of a tomb and quaint but excellent rules for the
management of the affairs of the Beachmen's Companies.
The large oil painting represents the gallant rescue of a shipwrecked vessel by
the brave Pakefielders.
Above the picture are the words:
She strikes the sands she parts the deck
The crew now float upon the wreck
But safe from harm God guards the strand
And keeps the Roaring Boys in hand
Upon the plinth of the tomb which is large and sombre looking is inscribed:
To the memory of Robert Peek and his crew drowned October 30th 1836.
