EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 22nd of June in 1960, witnessing a poignant moment in history. The image showcases the Ferryside lifeboat Caroline Oates Aver and William Maine as it plunges away from its launching carriage for its final cruise in the Towy estuary. This particular voyage holds even greater significance as it marks the closure of the station at the end of that month. The scene is filled with a sense of urgency and determination, highlighting the crucial role played by emergency services such as lifeboats during times of distress at sea. The brave crew members aboard this vessel were part of an esteemed organization known as RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution), dedicated to rescuing those in peril on our treacherous waters. Carmarthen Bay serves as a picturesque backdrop, adding depth and beauty to this historical moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded not only of the selfless acts carried out by these charitable organizations but also of their unwavering commitment to saving lives. This print by Cooke captures both a specific era and an everlasting spirit that resonates within us all – one that values compassion, bravery, and unity when faced with adversity on our vast oceans.
