Whereas the word 'hero' is ascribed haphazardly these days to the point it is meaningless, John Westaway was actually a hero in the truest sense of the word.  When the mailsteamer Normandy, on which John Westaway was a passenger, started to sink after a collision with the SS Mary on 17 JUL 1870, John willing sacrificed his life to save the life of one Miss Albina Falle, a fellow passenger, by giving up his place in one of the lifeboats and handing her his coat as protection against the elements.  A memorial was erected in his honor by the harbour of St. Helier, Jersey.
