Description
The RNLI's Official 200-year History is a comprehensive account of the charity's remarkable journey. Founded in 1824, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution has saved over 144,000 lives to date, driven by its founder Sir William Hillary's vision for preserving life from shipwreck. This book takes a fresh look at the RNLI's creation and early years, shedding light on lesser-known heroes and heroines, as well as well-documented events. The charity has faced numerous challenges over the past 200 years, but its determination, acumen, skill, and bravery have enabled it to overcome obstacles and become one of the UK and Ireland's most respected organisations. With more than 700 names inscribed on the RNLI Memorial, this book is a fitting tribute to the self-sacrifice of those who have contributed to the charity's success.
