Transcript of a recorded statement by student Rachel Collins in 2020.
I chose to illustrate the true story of Jane Whyte.
Jane Whyte was a Victorian heroine who risked her own life to save 15 sailors off Aberdour harbour. Her great-great-grandson described her as 'an ordinary lady who gave hope to everyone'.
I selected this text as I found it an inspiring and fitting tribute to Jane Whyte.
Jane Whyte went on to receive a RNLI Silver Medal for Gallantry and this is what inspired my design's composition.
