More about this scene

We are looking back towards the Parade and Marine Terrace from the Harbour Pier, with fishing boats and pleasure craft afloat on the rippling water. A tablet on the Pier commemorates nine seamen of Margate lost in 1857 when the 'Victory', a lugger, went to the assistance of the American vessel 'Northern Belle', which came ashore on the Foreness Rock near Kingsgate.
