Compiled with help from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, these accounts tell of real shipwrecks around the British coast and the volunteer crews who rowed into storms to reach them. Lifeboats are swamped and capsized, sailors leap from wrecks onto ropes, and whole villages turn out to launch boats into the surf.

Stirring true stories of courage at sea, written for a Victorian Sunday-school audience. Download the free EPUB.
