Full Fathom Five tells the story of Christopher (Kit) Brown and his involvement
in Bridlington's Great Gale of 1871, his part in the heroic rescue of the
crew of the Victoria, and the lifeboat disaster of March 1898 which led to
his death. The story also relates how Kit tries to persuade his son Fred to
take responsibility, and reflects some aspects of life in the fishing community
of Bridlington during the Victorian era. Real people are featured in this
story, and the events concerning the lifeboats are historical events, but
some of the words and actions of the characters are fiction
