This Town

Problems of a Modern England

The Ashen Sea tells the tale of the sinking of the Forfarshire, as seen through the eyes of Grace Darling, a local lighthouse keeper's daughter. 

Her participation in the rescue of survivors from the shipwrecked paddle steamer in 1838 brought her national fame. The ship ran aground on the Farne Islands off the coast of Northumberland in northeast England - nine members of her crew were saved.
