Trivia
In the pub, early on just after P/O Rawlings has joined, Flt. Lt. Murray tells him their boats can do 30 knots. Watch closely - his lips show he says 40 knots. This dub was probably made at the request of military censors since the film was released during WWII. Their boat is HSL 183 which was a Type 2 63 ft. HSL high speed launch craft made by the British Powerboat Company between 1940 and 1942. The boats could achieve over 36 knots, and the later Type 3 had a maximum speed of over 40 knots.

Goofs
The ship numbers are inconsistent. At c.55 minutes Ship Number 183 is towing Ship Number 156. At c. 58 minutes Ship Number 183 is towing Ship Number 134.

Crazy credits
[Prologue] This film was made with the co-operation of the Admiralty and the Air Ministry and thanks are due to those officers and other ranks of the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force who took part in it. The characters portrayed are fictitious, but the events are based on facts

An Air Sea Rescue Semi-Documentary

Another story along the same lines as 'The Sea Shall Not Have Them' The big difference in this film ,is that it was made during the war, with several real life sailors participating as crew members of the M.T.B. and so has an authentic feel about it. The film follows launch 183 and the skipper (David Farrar) who has to teach a new crew member,who has been rejected by the R.A.F. and is feeling bitter, the skills of handling the launch in all sorts of adverse conditions. Then when a British bomber crash lands in a minefield, 183 is sent to retrieve the crew in the face of the German shore guns. While certain scenes are not as dramatic as 'Sea Shall Not Have Them', the fact that it was shot in 1944, makes it interesting to watch.
