Didn't know what a Gansy jumper was/is - distinctive woollen jumper worn by fishermen apparently http://www.ganseys.co.uk/

South Shields Gazette 19 Nov 1900, rescued a man from drowning while herring fishing, presented with the medal by Alderman Spence in the Coop Hall Newbiggin,

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Thank you everyone for replying. Also thank you Sarah for changing the title of this post.

It's good to get a name for the person in the postcard. Not very sure how he fits into my family tree or even if he does. Maybe they liked his gansey jumper! As far as I am aware nobody from that side of the family moved away from fife. Thank you again everyone

Maybe he rescued someone from Fife although this photo was taken some time after the event.

The photo is actually a postcard, Victorian habit of making postcards of things.  Picked up by a family member and never posted?  The man he rescued was James Armstrong also of Newbiggin.  Full story in the 20 Aug 1900 S Shields Gazette.
