The Wreck of the “Northern Belle”; or, The Life of a Ship From the Cradle to the Grave, Being a Descriptive Poem in Four Parts; to Which is Added Midnight on the Cliffs, &c

This epic poem by Edward Gascoigne Burton tells the story of the Northern Belle, a ship that meets its tragic end off the coast of England. Through vivid descriptions and emotional storytelling, Burton brings to life the journey of this vessel, from its construction and launch to its final moments on the rocky cliffs. The addition of 'Midnight on the Cliffs' provides a haunting and atmospheric coda to the main story.
