Lighthouse tender, May, ashore on Rysa Little

Not a very good photo but does show the ship is hard ashore.
I might be wrong with the date but you must put a date down on this site or it does not like it.
I think the May, was refloated by the Pole Star some time later.

I remember the POLE STAR borrowing an anchor from Nundy to lay out to help refloat the MAY.
