Underwater creatures left high and dry by the tide inside the caves must struggle to survive until the sea returns to save them. Nicholas Crane discovers the forgotten story of the 'indestructible highway' - the convoys of coastal supply ships that braved Nazi attack from land, sea, and air to keep Britain afloat during the Second World War.
