Sacrifice at Christmas : The Tragedy of Solomon Browne
Thursday, 19 December, 2024
This is a different episode for us, but it's one we felt compelled to make.On 19th December 1981 a dramatic rescue played out on the English coast, involving a stricken cargo ship being driven towards a rocky shore by a storm. It's an important story of courage, skill, sacrifice and decisions that ultimately led to tragedy.Tonight is the anniversary of that incident, and in this episode we pull together the original radio transmissions to tell the story of the crews of the Union Star and the Solomon Browne.LinksBBC documentary on YouTubeBBC Sounds documentaryPenlee: The Loss of a Lifeboat - by Michael Sagar-Fenton
