Dedicated to Grandpa Ronald Taggart, a man who knew about saving lives at sea. Serving as a telegrapher in the Royal Navy, he was one of the few survivors of the HMS Spartan sinking off Italy in 1944. He was rescued from the water. In 1950s, he received an award from the Royal Humane Society for diving into the River Blyth in Northumberland and swimming to the aid of a nine-year-old girl, saving her from drowning.
