Never Turn Back: The RNLI Since the Second World War
The achievements of the RNLI, often romanticised, depend on ordinary people doing extraordinary things. This book tells the story of the last 50 years of the lifeboat service through the words and actions of the people involved. In the period since the Second World War, particularly from the mid-1960s, the RNLI has experienced the most rapid changes in its long history. The transition from conventional to fast lifeboats, the introduction of inshore boats and the expansion into beach rescue and sea safety have all dramatically changed the lifeboat service. Ray and Susannah's narrative draws on their personal and extensive inside knowledge plus first hand accounts of the rescues and the decisions that shaped the changing lifeboat service.
Volunteers
This Book is a compelling read for anyone interested in the Lifeboat Service and rescue at sea. The title arises from my time as a volunteer crew member and coxswain in the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and considers the changes in both the human attributes and technical innovations from the inception of the lifeboat institution in the nineteenth century through to the 21st century. Importantly, it focuses on the people of the lifeboat service through examples of rescues that introduce the human aspects along with the voluntary nature of the crews and fund-raisers. This book is exquisitely illustrated with many pen and ink sketches by Fleetwood artist Ron Baxter, to illuminate the stories of incidents.
