Description
The achievements of the RNLI, often romanticised, depend on ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
This book tells the story of the last 50 years of the lifeboat service through the words and actions of the people involved.
In the period since the Second World War, particularly from the mid-1960s, the RNLI has experienced the most rapid changes in its long history. The transition from conventional to fast lifeboats, the introduction of inshore boats and the expansion into beach rescue and sea safety have all dramatically changed the lifeboat service.
Ray and Susannah's narrative draws on their personal and extensive inside knowledge plus first hand accounts of the rescues and the decisions that shaped the changing lifeboat service.
