The brave men depicted in this image stand proudly next to their lifeboats, ready to embark on treacherous missions to rescue those in distress at sea. The vintage quality of this lantern slide transports us back in time to a bygone era when courage and selflessness were paramount qualities for those who served as lifeboatmen.
