- Betty_Mouat abstract "Elizabeth Mouat, (1825-1918) of Shetland was a spinner and hand knitter who gained fame at the age of 59 when she found herself alone in a boat and drifted across the North Sea to Norway.She was born in Levenwick, Shetland to Margaret and Thomas Mouat, a shoemaker and fisherman. In January 1886 she was the sole passenger on the smack Columbine sailing from Grutness to Lerwick where she planned to sell her knitting and to visit a doctor following a recent stroke. The weather quickly turned bad, and the skipper was washed over board. The other two crew members launched a small boat in an unsuccessful attempt to rescue him, and were unable to return to the Columbine which was still under some sail.Despite having little in the way of provisions, Betty survived for 9 days at sea until the Columbine ran aground off the coast of Norway at Lepsoy near the town of Ålesund where she was rescued by fishermen. She received a great welcome when she returned to Edinburgh, and later in Lerwick. Subscription lists were opened for Betty, and Queen Victoria made a donation of £20.Betty Mouat died 32 years later on 6 February 1918 in Dunrossness, Shetland, at the age of 93.".
