Sinopsis
On 29 October 1914 the hospital ship Rohilla (7,400 tons) with 229 people on board left Queensferry for Dunkirk. At 4a.m. on 30 October she ran onto the rocks at Saltwick Nab, about a mile south of Whitby. Weather conditions were very bad and it was impossible to launch the Whitby No. 1 Lifeboat and row her around to the wreck. Instead, the No. 2 boat John Fielden was hauled over the beach to a position opposite the Rohilla and, despite the awful conditions, eventually reached the wreck after great difficulty. Five nurses and 12 men were rescued on this first trip, followed by a second trip when a further 18 men were rescued. During this second trip the lifeboat was badly damaged. A succession of lifeboats tried to reach the ship and eventually one made it. Of the 229 people on board the Rohilla, 84 were lost. Several of those involved in the rescue attempts received RNLI Medals. The story of that fateful few days when North Yorkshire's lifeboats made one of their most daring rescues.

Rohilla was a passenger steamer of the British India Steam Navigation Company which was built for service between the UK and India, and as a troopship. After becoming a hospital ship in the First World War, Rohilla ran aground in October 1914 near Whitby with the loss of 85 lives. Rohilla was called up at the outset of the First World War and converted into a naval hospital ship. HMHS (His Majesty's Hospital Ship) Rohilla had only a short life in that role. On 30 October 1914, sailing from South Queensferry, Firth of Forth for Dunkerque to evacuate wounded soldiers, the ship ran aground on Saltwick Nab, a reef about a mile east of Whitby, North Riding of Yorkshire, during a full south westerly gale and with the lighthouses unlit due to the war. The reef is about 400 yards (370 m) offshore and the ship soon broke her back. The conditions made rescue extremely difficult, but lifeboats from Whitby, Upgang (near Whitby), Redcar, Tynemouth and Scarborough attempted to close on the wreck. Over the next three days, some of those who attempted to swim to safety in the raging seas were rescued, though many were lost, and lifeboats were able to rescue others. In all, 146 of the 229 on board, including Captain Neilson and all the nurses, as well as Titanic survivor Mary Kezia Roberts, survived. Lavishly illustrated with dramatic photographs taken at the time and specially commissioned artist's impressions. Ref Y Y 3. Nº de ref. del artículo: 019091
