Full Fathom Five
Full Fathom Five tells the story of Christopher (Kit) Brown and his involvement in the Great Gale of 1871, his part in the heroic rescue of the crew of the Victoria, and the lifeboat disaster of March 1898 which led to his death. The story also relates how Kit tries to persuade his son Fred to take responsibility, and reflects on some aspects of life in the fishing community of Bridlington during the Victorian era. Real people are featured in this story, and the events concerning the lifeboats are historical events, but some of the words and actions of the characters are fiction.

Über den Autor
Mike Wilson (1943-2018) left school with no A-levels and started his working life behind the wheel of a bread delivery van, moonlighting as a model for the Milk Marketing Board. He joined Mark Weinberg's Abbey Life in 1968, aged twenty-five, following him two years later when Mark founded Hambro Life (later Allied Dunbar), of which Mike would later become CEO. In 1992, Mike was co-founder with Mark and first CEO of J. Rothschild Assurance. Renamed St. James's Place Wealth Management, it is a FTSE 100 company with over £90 billion of funds under management - and rising. Mike retired from the board in 2011, subsequently serving as Chairman of the SJP Charitable Foundation. He was a trustee and director of various mental health charities and coached a wide variety of people in different sectors. He was awarded a CBE in 2012 for services to the insurance industry and to charity.
