During the time William Broome was a resident of Ramsgate, he painted many different scenes from the Indian Chief rescue of varying quality. This rescue was one of the most heroic in the history of the RNLI and took place on the 6 January 1881 when the barque Indian Chief was wrecked on the Long Sand at the mouth of the Thames. The lifeboat the Bradford, was towed to the scene of the accident by the steam tug Vulcan and during atrocious conditions the lifeboat managed to save 11 members of her crew.
