"Heroes of the Goodwin Sands" by Thomas Stanley Treanor is a tribute to the brave Deal boatmen of the early 20th century, who risked everything to save lives on the treacherous Goodwin Sands. The book recounts dramatic maritime rescues and showcases the selflessness of these local heroes. As a Missions to Seamen Chaplain, the author provides insight into the dangers faced by those who navigate the perilous waters to aid stranded vessels. The narratives emphasize both the courage of the rescuers and the formidable challenges they overcame in their essential, yet often unacknowledged, work.
