EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) crewman ascends the steps of the St Davids lifeboat station at St Justinian in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, as the sun casts a warm glow over the coastal landscape. The image captures a moment of quiet determination as the crewman prepares to embark on a potentially life-saving mission from the historic lifeboat station. The photograph was taken in the late 1980s, a time when the RNLI's commitment to saving lives at sea was as vital as ever. The building the crewman is leaving behind is the former St Davids lifeboat station, which can be seen in the bottom right corner of the image. This station, which had served the community for many years, has now been superseded by a newer, more modern facility nearby. The rugged coastline of Pembrokeshire, with its crashing waves and unpredictable weather, has long posed a threat to seafarers and coastal communities. The RNLI, founded in 1824, has been at the forefront of providing essential rescue services to those in need. The organization's volunteers, like the crewman in this photograph, have braved the elements to save countless lives over the years. The photograph, taken by renowned British photographer Philip Dunn, is a poignant reminder of the vital role that the RNLI plays in the coastal communities of South Wales and beyond. The image also serves as a testament to the bravery and dedication of the organization's volunteers, who continue to put their lives on the line to save others. The photograph, first published in The Sunday Times in 1989, is a powerful visual representation of the RNLI's enduring mission to save lives at sea. It is a timeless image that continues to resonate with audiences today, reminding us of the importance of the work that the RNLI does and the sacrifices that its volunteers make.
