| 释义 |
In the 1884 rescue from SS Wiliam Hope in Aberdour Bay off the north coast of Aberdeenshire in Scotland Jane Whyte rescued fifteen sailors from their ship in conditions described as "blowing a hurricane".[1] On 28 October 1884 SS William Hope was sailing from Fraserburgh to Burghead carrying only ballast. Caught off Troup Head by a shift in the wind in severe conditions the captain headed into Aberdour Bay where its steam engine failed and anchor chain broke.[2][1] When the ship was drifting towards rocks on the shore Jane Whyte{{refn|group=note|Whyte was born 1844 and died 3 August 1918[2]}} a 40-year-old mother of nine{{refn|group=note|Some sources say she had eight children.[1]}} and wife of a farm worker, was walking her dog along the beach. Whyte waded into the sea and caught a rope thrown towards her. Winding it round her waist, she pulled back to the shore and held it firmly while all fifteen sailors struggled to reach land one at a time. She then gave them shelter overnight until they were able to return to Dundee.[3][4][5] Whyte was awarded the RNLI silver medal for outstanding bravery and a Board of Trade award of gallantry. With her £10 reward she was able to purchase her rented croft. The ship, an iron fishing trawler built in 1882, was wrecked and sold to be broken up.[3][4][6] {{clear}}Notes1. ^{{cite web |title=William Hope: Aberdour Bay, North Sea|url=https://canmore.org.uk/site/206835/william-hope-aberdour-bay-north-sea |website=canmore.org.uk |accessdate=10 August 2018 |language=en}} 2. ^{{cite web |last1=McCall |first1=Alison |title=Jane Whyte - Mapping Memorials to Women in Scotland |url=http://womenofscotland.org.uk/women/jane-whyte |website=womenofscotland.org.uk |accessdate=10 August 2018 |language=en |date=29 September 2015}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |last1=Banks |first1=Ken |title=The woman who saved 15 sailors from drowning |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-44845831 |website=BBC News |accessdate=10 August 2018 |date=10 August 2018}} 4. ^1 {{cite news |last1=Strachan |first1=Graeme |title=Tribute to Aberdeenshire heroine who waded into North Sea to save sailors|url=https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aberdeenshire/1456399/tribute-to-aberdeenshire-heroine-who-waded-into-north-sea-to-save-sailors/ |work=Aberdeen Press and Journal |date=18 April 2018}} 5. ^1 {{cite journal |last1=MacFarlane |first1=Jenna |title=Jane Whyte - Aberdeenshire's Own Grace Darling - The Scots Magazine |journal=The Scots Magazine |date=7 August 2018 |url=https://www.scotsmagazine.com/articles/jane-whyte-aberdour/}} 6. ^{{cite web |title=Screw Steamer WILLIAM HOPE built by Hawthorns & Co. in 1883 for John Wilson Hope, Leith, Fishing |url=http://www.clydeships.co.uk/view.php?a1PageSize=100&ship_listPage=7&a1Order=Sorter_name&a1Dir=DESC&a1Page=7&ref=51268&vessel=WILLIAM+HOPE |website=www.clydeships.co.uk |accessdate=10 August 2018}} References{{reflist|25em}}Further reading
