Bridlington harbour appears not to have changed very much since 1854, compared with a modern Google Satellite Map. We can assume therefore that the crew of Elizabeth Jane once rescued from their sinking vessel would experience an arrival at Bridlngton much as we might experience an arrival in July 2009.
