Ten stories and sketches of the fishermen and lifeboat crews of Jutland's west coast and Skagen, where the North Sea wrecks ships every winter. Watches on the beach, rescues in the surf, survivors brought back to life and Christmas guests washed in from the sea, told by a writer who knew the coast. The book is dedicated to the Skagen painters Michael and Anna Ancher. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.

Summary written with Claude Opus 5.5.
