Tips

Tom Rambler

Birth: Nov. 24, 1815
Death: Oct. 20, 1842

A British heroine. Grace spent her youth in various lighthouses with her lighthouse keeper father. On the 17th of September 1838, whilst living on the Farne Islands she spotted the ship, Forfarshire, which had run aground on rocks a few hundred yards away. With no foresight for her own safety, she and her father promptly took a boat across the treacherous waters to the other island and rescued nine frightened survivors, bringing them safely back to the lighthouse. She was revered throughout the United Kingdom during her lifetime for her remarkable bravery. The rescue was committed to verse by poet William Wordsworth. There is also a Grace Darling Museum in Bamburgh.
