400 Year Old Life-Saver on Tristan d Acunha
Peter W. Green, governor of Tristan d'Acunha, a remote South Atlantic island group, has spent over six decades saving shipwreck survivors. A native of England in his 90s, he became governor after being rescued himself at 30, serving as clergyman and doctor while rescuing hundreds of people from the rocky coast. He has earned honors from monarchs worldwide, including a U.S. gold chronometer and Victoria’s gift of a life-saving boat. The tiny island community numbers 55 to 60 past and present inhabitants, all educated as Samaritans of the sea.
