EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1930s as we witness a heartwarming moment captured on film. The image showcases members of the Worthing Rescue Committee embarking on a memorable trip along the iconic Thames River. This special outing took place right after the launching ceremony of the Kenneth and Gerald Lifeboat, an event graced by none other than Mrs Hawkins, Mayoress of Worthing. The photograph exudes a sense of camaraderie and dedication as these brave individuals from various charities and emergency services come together for a common cause - saving lives at sea. With their life-saving equipment in tow, they stand proudly aboard their vessel, ready to face any challenge that may come their way. This snapshot not only pays tribute to these unsung heroes but also serves as a reminder of the importance of organizations like RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) in ensuring maritime safety during times when shipping was crucial for transport and trade. As we gaze upon this historical gem, it becomes evident that this is more than just another launch or ceremonial affair; it symbolizes unity amidst adversity. It reminds us that even in turbulent times, there will always be those who selflessly dedicate themselves to helping others – true heroes who deserve our utmost respect and gratitude.
