The Riddle Of The Sands - BBC Radio

First broadcast 08.01.1994 on BBC Radio 4

Adapted by Rodderick Graham from Erskine Childers' famous 1903 novel ‘The Riddle of the Sands: A Record of Secret

Service.’

The story is of a yachting expedition by two young men along the German coast at the start of the 1900s. During this

trip they uncover secret German preparations for an invasion of the Britain.

In August 1910, inspired by the book, two British amateur yachtsmen, Captain Bernard Trench RM and Lieutenant Vivian

Brandon RN, undertook a sailing holiday along the Frisian coast, during which they collected information about German

naval installations. The two men joined "Room 40", the intelligence and decoding section of the British

Admiralty, on the outbreak of war.

The book enjoyed immense popularity in the years before World War I and was extremely influential. Winston Churchill

later credited it as a major reason that the Admiralty decided to establish naval bases at Invergordon, the Firth of

Forth and Scapa Flow.
