Imtelligencer - Wedneday 05 December 1923:- Early
yesterday morning, in a thick fog, the Norwegian steamer Asperbolm,
timber laden, from Arendal for the Tyne, went ashore at Ness Point,
Robin Hood's Bay. It was low water at the time, and although the vessel
was stranded in an unfavourable position, the crew refused to leave,
hoping she would get off at high water. Fortunately the sea was calm.
Messrs Storm Brothers, of Robin Hood's Bay, went out in their cobles to
render assistance, and eventually their services were accepted, and
kedges being run out, the vessel was refloated, and proceeded north,
apparantly slightly, if at all, damaged, although there was a list to
port. The Coastguard rocket apparatus men had been summoned by gunfire,
but theirservices were not requesitioned.
