1963 Coxswain Crew Essex Jonas Leaning Life Boat Naze Railings Rescue Rnli Sou Wester Walton Oxley


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the stoic determination of Jonas Oxley, Coxswain of the Walton-on-The-Naze Lifeboat Station in Essex, during the 1960s. The image, taken circa 1963, shows Oxley standing outside the boat house, his weathered face framed by the brim of his sou'wester hat and the railings of the boat house behind him. With one hand resting on the railing for balance, Oxley leans slightly forward, his gaze fixed on the horizon, as if already anticipating the next call to action. As Coxswain of the Walton-on-The-Naze Lifeboat Station from 1947 to 1964, Oxley was a respected and integral member of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) crew. The coastal town of Walton-on-The-Naze, located in the English county of Essex, is known for its treacherous waters and unpredictable tides, making the work of the lifeboat crew a vital part of the community. Oxley's dedication to the role is evident in this powerful portrait, which captures the essence of a man who has devoted his life to saving lives at sea. The image is a poignant reminder of the selfless bravery and commitment of the RNLI and its volunteers, who continue to provide a vital lifeline to those in need along the UK's coastline.
