Grace Darling became famous when she saved many people from a shipwreck at the age of 22.

In September 1838, the steamship Forfarshire broke in two on rocks by the lighthouse in the North Sea where her father was lighthouse keeper. Grace urged her father to row out with her in the severe storm conditions to the wrecked steamship, where she and her father saved the nine people - four crew and five passengers out of the fifty or so who were aboard the ship (the remainder were drowned).
