About this product

Product Information

This book has been written out of pure respect and admiration for the members of lifeboat crews past and present. The quiet and unassuming way in which they carry out their duties, often risking their own lives to save others. It includes accounts of bravery, seamanship and devotion to duty displayed by the crews, and individual crewman, of the Torbay lifeboats. From the lauch of Torbays first purpose built lifeboat, this book traces the history of the boats, crews and rescues of those who followed in her wake, up to the retirement from service of the Marie Winstone in 2001.
