But when Thomas Jones realised Noël Rothes’ calm capability, he put her at the tiller of his boat, and for seven long hours they did all they could to shepherd twenty-five other people to safety. Their ordeal forged an unlikely rapport that lasted until Noël died in 1956.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on contemporary sources, personal papers and letters, Angela Young, Noël’s great-granddaughter, brings their incredible story to light – a story of courage in the face of unthinkable tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57005384008053,"sku":"9781837051144","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781837051144.jpg?v=1774690326","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781837051144","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
