The Pilot Boat

Uploaded: January 30, 2011

Description

Step ashore for a moment and wander along the Marine Walk to the Pilot Boat Inn. This pretty pub was the home of the original Lassie, inspiration for the novel of the same name. It seems that many years ago the landlord of the Pilot Boat had a collie named Lassie. In 1915 the HMS Formidable became the first boat sunk in WWI by a German U-boat. Bodies from the Formidable were taken to the Pilot Boat. One crewman was thought to be dead, and was laid upon the floor. Lassie lay beside the 'dead' man and licked his face. The corpse suddenly awoke, much to the surprise of all present! This true story was later used as an inspiration for the series of Lassie books, films, and television series.
