TRIP OUT ON THE NEWHAVEN LIFEBOAT
August 1963
By Robin Miller
This picture dated August 1963 was taken on a trip out to sea on the Newhaven lifeboat Kathleen Mary. The man on the right is my father Bob Miller and the boy in front of him is me, aged 6. The woman in the scarf is Joyce Moore, wife of Edgar Moore who was lifeboat coxswain at the time. Edgar and Joyce were also our next door neighbours, which is probably why we managed to get an invite to go out on the trip.
My father was a Coastguard and we moved to Newhaven in July that year, so can only have lived there for a few weeks when the picture was taken. Can anyone identify the others on the picture?
