LIFEBOAT CHANGEOVERS
Out with the old, and in with the new...Louis Marchesi, Keith Anderson & David and Elizabeth Acland
By Andy Gilbert
I was loaned some photos a while ago, for posting on the shipsnostalgia site. The lender this time goes by the name of 'macjack'!
Here are a couple of his lifeboat images. The first, from February 1999, shows the former Newhaven boat, the Waveney Class "Louis Marchesi of Round Table" (AKA "the Yank", as she was based on a US Coastguard design) with the then Newhaven boat, the Arun class "Keith Anderson". The second photo, from October 1999, shows "Keith Anderson" being led into the harbour by our current lifeboat, the then brand new Severn Class "David and Elizabeth Acland".
