Stephen Grenfell is the storyteller.
When the Norwegian ship Dovrefjell ran aground in a gale in the Pentland Firth she radioed that she was in no immediate danger, but lifeboats and a destroyer went to her aid. Suddenly the signal 'Situation dangerous' was received, and a new chapter in the history of saving life at sea began. Helicopters hovered above the waves breaking over the ship and rescued all forty-one aboard her.
