All they could hear was the wind, and the waves crashing on to the rocks. All they could see was the night. They could not see the ship, broken in two.

Was their wooden boat stronger than the iron ship? Were a man and his daughter stronger than the great waves that broke the ship in two? The Forfarshire was wrecked off the north-east coast of England in 1838. This is the true story of Grace Darling — a girl who became a famous heroine on that stormy night.
