Fate : 24th Sep 1935 Wrecked Speeton Cliffs York`s, After runing aground on the notorious Speeton Cliffs the Skegness refused any assistance, it is believed that the skipper was sure she would refloat herself as the tide rose, eventually the Scarborough Lifeboat was called but was unable to reach the vessel, the rocket brigade made several attempts to get a line aboard, all were futile. with a rising tide and high winds the Skegness was soon overcome with the resulting loss of her whole crew.
