Life-Savers of Cresswell Women in History of Coast Guard
Remarkable account of Cresswell Northumberland coast life savers with volunteer women aiding launches during fierce storms. Notable figures include Mrs Margaret Armstrong and wives of lifeboat officials, who repeatedly risked peril, aided rocket apparatus transport, and formed a living chain for rescues. Also notes Hawaiian fish tale of a 150 pound unknown species caught off Oahu, baffling Prof Edmondson.
