Derby couple who survived 117 days adrift in pacific
2008
Overview
The woman was the late Maralyn Bailey (nee Harrison). Although born in Nottingham, in April 1941, Maralyn was brought up in Derby and attended the girls' grammar school, Parkfields Cedars. After her marriage, in 1963, to Maurice Bailey, the couple lived in Derby. Maralyn's diary reads: \"There was a violent impact. The ship shuddered and there was tearing, splintering wood. We looked at each other. I dashed outside. As I went into the cockpit, I saw, off the stern, a huge whale. Around him, the deep blue water was stained red.\" Maurice Bailey always attributed their amazing survival to Maralyn's sheer tenacity. He wrote: \"She kept morale high while I flagged. When I was prepared to give up hope, she was there beside me.\"
