January 12, 1899 was the setting for one of the most astonishing lifeboat recue attempts during one of the worst storms at sea in living memory. Unable to launch directly into the storm, the coxswain of the Louisa lifeboat, decided to haul the lifeboat 13 miles overland to a more sheltered bay in order to rescue a sailing ship. This real life story is dramatically told in Louisa: An Amazing Adventure, and explores the true courage, determination, and extraordinary spirit of ordinary people trying to save the lives of strangers in need.
