Description

The remarkable 200-year history of The RNLI and their invaluable role in British Maritime history. A beautiful book of kindness, courage, and community to treasure for years to come.
This beautiful book from one of the UKs best-loved charities will span their impressive 200-year history. Throughout this time, The RNLI has seen many huge cultural and societal shifts as well as significant historical moments, and they have been actively involved in so many from the first female lifeboat launcher and their effort during both world wars, to the evolution of their cutting-edge lifeboat technology, record-breaking rescues, selfless sacrifices, and outstanding acts.

At the heart of the RNLI history is the human connection to the communities, volunteers, survivors, and supporters, and just like everything they do this book is both about them and for them.

Author Bio

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea, providing a lifeboat service, lifeguards and safety education.
The charitys founder, Sir William Hillary, vowed that with courage, nothing is impossible. His vision of forming a rescue service funded by voluntary donations became a reality in 1824 and, almost 200 years on, the charity has saved more than 142,500 lives. Everyone who gives their time or support to the RNLI is a lifesaver.
