Through detailed narratives of maritime rescues, it shines a light on the bravery and selflessness typical of these local heroes.  The opening of the book provides essential background about the Goodwin Sands, a notorious maritime area where vessels frequently become stranded. It describes the dangerous conditions faced by the Deal boatmen, who must often navigate treacherous waters to execute daring rescues. The author shares his own experiences and observations as Missions to Seamen Chaplain, emphasizing the significance of these rescues and the often-overlooked heroism of the boatmen.
