This photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the Victorian era in the picturesque coastal town of Ilfracombe, Devon, England. The image showcases a group of brave and dedicated lifeboatmen, clad in their Victorian-era attire, gathered around a lantern-lit slide. The year is uncertain, but the Edwardian era's influence is evident in the men's attire, with some donning flat caps and others wearing bowler hats. The lifeboatmen, with their sturdy builds and determined expressions, embody the resilience and courage required for their dangerous duty. The lifeboats, anchored in the background, stand as a testament to the technological advancements of the time. Their sleek design and intricate detailing reflect the importance of innovation in ensuring the safety of those at sea. The lantern-lit slide, casting an ethereal glow over the scene, adds a sense of mystery and intrigue. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a profound appreciation for the sacrifices made by these lifeboatmen during the Victorian period. Their unwavering commitment to saving lives in the treacherous waters of Ilfracombe's coastline continues to inspire awe and admiration to this day.
