Autograph request
Postcard sent by Bray to Ethel Langton on 2nd January 1926 asking for her autograph.
Grace Darling’s story is widely known, but another heroine who was also the daughter of a lighthouse-keeper has had little mention. She was Ethel Langton, a girl who became a heroine at the age of 15. Ethel lived with her parents in St. Helen’s fort, a circular building on the eastern shores of the Isle of Wight.
On Saturday, 20th March her parents had left her while they attended to other business when the weather deteriorated and Ethel climbed the external ladder in a gale to light the lamp.
