WORKINGTON LIFEBOATS An Illustrated History
The Workington lifeboat station in Cumbria has a fine record of gallantry. The volunteer lifeboat crews have undertaken hundreds of rescues, and continue the tradition of saving lives at sea in the Solway Firth begun by the Whitehaven lifeboat station, which dates from 1803, and continued by the lifeboat crews at Maryport and Seascale.
This book covers the history of all four stations, all the notable rescues, and the many lifeboats that have served this coast. It covers the rowing lifeboats at Whitehaven, the first motor lifeboats at Maryport and is brought right up to date with the new state-of-the-art 13m Shannon lifeboat, which came to Workington in 2017.
This comprehensive authoritative history will appeal to anyone who has an interest in lifeboats, shipping, maritime heritage and Cumbria, as it includes dramatic accounts of rescues and details of the gallant work of the volunteer lifeboat crews.
