EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in the history of the Great Yarmouth lifeboat, The Earl and Countess of Howe. Taken at Portsmouth on the 11th of April, 1963, this image showcases an extraordinary exercise conducted by the brave crew members. In a daring display of strength and skill, the lifeboat is seen completely overturned with the assistance of straps attached to a dockyard crane. However, much to everyone's relief, The Earl and Countess of Howe swiftly rights itself as if defying gravity. Amidst this heart-stopping scene, one man remains roped to a bench inside the watertight cabin - Mr. Richard Oakley. A dedicated surveyor on the RNLI staff, his presence symbolizes both trust in their equipment's safety measures and unwavering commitment to saving lives at sea. This photograph not only highlights the courage and resilience exhibited by these selfless individuals but also serves as a testament to their rigorous training exercises that ensure they are always prepared for any emergency situation. As we gaze upon this snapshot from decades past, we are reminded of the vital role played by charities like RNLI in safeguarding our seas. It stands as a tribute to all those involved in maritime rescue operations while emphasizing how crucial it is for us to support such organizations dedicated to preserving human life amidst unpredictable waters.
