Orphans of the Sea

Over 50,000 people visit the Seal Sanctuary every year (at the time of printing). Its opening on Whit Monday 1975 was a triumph for Ken and Mary Jones, the culmination of fifteen years of hard and often heartbreaking work. Orphans of the Sea is the enchanting story of those years, of how a beach cafe at Trevaunance Cove became, almost by accident, a refuge for the baby seals washed up on the beach; and of how it grew into the first Cornish Seal Sanctuary, sheltering not only seals, but many species of animals and birds in distress.
