Sadly, the boat was washed a shore and served as a sorrowful reminder of the tragedy that occurred. JB McDonald filmed footage of the boat as it lay near the harbour, the poignancy of the clip is a reflection of the sadness that would have been felt at the time. The funeral for the heroic men who lost their lives was a time of mass mourning in the town, with a procession taking place on Broad Street so people could pay their final respects to lifeboat crew who risked and lost their lives in the tragic incident.
