In that storm the entire crew of the pilot-boat "Columbia" was lost, and the wreck is now on exhibition at Scituate. Mr. Peck showed numerous pictures of surf to demonstrate the dangers undergone in launching life-boats. One of the slides was a fac-simile of a letter written by the keeper of Minot's Ledge...
