Joseph Ray Hodgson (3 October 1829—-15 October 1908) was an Englishman hailed as a hero dozens of times after risking his life to save people from drowning, often during a winter storm in the North Sea. He was nicknamed The Stormy Petrel, after the seabirds, because whenever a gale blew up, he could be seen on Sunderland pier searching the skyline for ships in distress in order that he might help. Hodgson was living and working in Sunderland at the same time as the diver, Harry Watts, who was equally famed for saving lives, and is commemorated in the album titled ''Stormy Petrel'' by Sunderland punk band Leatherface.
==Early life==
The son of a joiner, he was born in 1829 in Dunning Street, Bishopwearmouth, and was educated at The Gray School, Sunderland. By the age of 10, he was working with a gang of riggers on the ships but spent his spare time painting and carving wood; perhaps the former was less successful as he was proved to be colour blind. Hodgson made his first recorded rescue in 1844, at the age of 14, jumping into the River Wear to save three-year-old John Snowdon,who later became a renowned ship's captain. Hodgson was rewarded by the Royal Humane Society. He then saved John Nicholson, also in 1844, and pulled carver John Marshall from the Wear in 1847. Marshall repaid Hodgson by training him as a carver and gilder, which became his profession.
