Product Details
The New Brighton lifeboat station on the Mersey has a fine record of gallantry. The volunteer lifeboat crews have undertaken hundreds of rescues, including many notable medal-winning services. They have provided a rescue service to shipping and craft using the river Mersey for a century and a half, operating unusual lifeboat types including Tubular rowing boats, steam-powered craft and, in the 1920s, the largest lifeboat in the world.
This authoritative book provides a comprehensive history of the station from the middle of the nineteenth century to the modern era, with the state-of-the-art Atlantic 85 lifeboat Charles Dibdin (Civil Service No.51).
It will appeal to anyone who has an interest in lifeboats, shipping, the port of Liverpool and maritime heritage, as it includes dramatic accounts of rescues and details of the gallant work of the volunteer lifeboat crews of New Brighton.
