This image is a newspaper archive image that had been highly modified by the papers artist to make the stand out for use in the paper printing process of the times. it was also printed reversed for the newspaper for use in their printing process to come out a "positive" in the paper. I have corrected that to show the correct way around.
The photo that is normally seen of this incident is with the tide high. We have not seen this low tide before.
