EDITORS COMMENTS
The Barry lifeboat RNLB Rachel and Mary Evans, adorned with festive decorations, sails gracefully through the choppy waters on her way back home. It is a somber moment captured in this print as she returns without having successfully landed her passengers on the Breaksea lightship for the annual carol service. The date was 23rd December 1966, a time when emergency services like lifeboats were relied upon to brave treacherous conditions and come to the rescue. In this snapshot of history, we witness the dedication and bravery of the RNLI crew who risked their lives to save others. Despite their disappointment at not being able to fulfill their mission that day, they remain resilient and determined in their duty. The image also showcases the strong sense of community spirit during Christmas time. As customs dictate, members of the crew can be seen waving from aboard the lifeboat, perhaps acknowledging well-wishers bidding them farewell or expressing gratitude for their valiant efforts. This photograph serves as a reminder of how charitable organizations like RNLI play an essential role in safeguarding lives at sea. It captures both a moment of setback and resilience within our maritime history.
