Last repost: I used to have family on Hoy. The story there was the Longhope disaster of 1969.
Many coastal communities have stories like that, and every one deserves to be retold, and anyone who attacks the lifeboats has declared war on humanity.

For good measure also on board was William Mowat,coxswain of the Longhope Lifeboat, to pilot the wallowing hulk past Duncansby Head. Controversially, at home and in Germany, the 3 tugs that would take Moltke on her final voyage were German, including "Seefalke" – the most powerful in the world 💪

One of the most powerful Scottish slow airs is “the Heroes of Longhope”
Longhope is in Orkney, and in 1969 8 of their crew met the same fate. Despite that, crews like those in Cornwall in the 80s and more today still go to sea in the worst of weathers to try and save lives, at the risk of their own

Every year on 19 December, the famous Christmas lights at Mousehole in Cornwall are dimmed between 8 and 9pm, leaving just the Cross and Angels shining down across the village and out to sea.
