LIFEBOATS AROUND THE HARBOUR
c1985
By Karen Mayo
The first two pictures show the Lifeboat "Charles Henry Ashley" now known as "Charles Ashley" using the old Lifeboat House, this particular vessel was built in 1949 and served in Wales for 30 years, from 1979 to 1982 she was used as a relief Lifeboat in Cornwall, Does anyone know why we have a visit from this small Lifeboat? This boat is currently in central France and is for sale!
The next picture shows the Lifeboat "Louis Marchesi of Round Table" (44019) 1977 - 1985 moored at the West Quay, the final photograph looks like a display for the then new Lifeboat "Keith Anderson" 1985 - 2000, notice the fine condition of the Railway Quay and the Marine Workshops in the background!
