Signal Mast Demolished

What we know about this image :

The 40 foot signal standard outside the pilot's office was struck by the steamer Silver Pine which became out of control in a high wind when she was being assisted into port by two tugs. The tugs collided & one was driven ashore whilst the other lost her propeller. The steamer was on her way from Sunderland to R. Westgarth to be re-engined.
