Description

On the 12th of December 1947 the British trawler, Dhoon, stranded by Látrabjarg sea-cliffs in fog and heavy undercurrent. There were 15 people aboard the trawler, 12 of which were saved under very difficult circumstances by the local volunteer rescue teams and the local farmers. The farmers heaved the men up on a string to safety in cold and bad weather. These farmers used such a string to hang from the cliff while collecting bird eggs.

There is a monument at Hnjótur, in honour of the Icelandic rescue workers, to commemorate their achievements in rescuing local and foreign fishermen from the dangers of the sea. And in remembrance of those who couldn't be saved.
