A Good Job.... well done!
An RNLI promotional film made in 1989/90. I found it on an old hard drive in 3 bits and stitched it back together. The film quality is pretty poor but its an interesting cross section of RNLI activities at the time.
The film was sponsored by Volvo
It features Leeds Shoreline Branch with a souvenir stall at an event.

The film was made for the RNLI in association with the Yachtsmen's Lifeboat Supporters Association and was sponsored by Martel Cognac! The film shows through a rescue reconstruction the increased dangers yacht sailors (or indeed anyone) face when going to see unprepared. The clothes an...

Fishguard LB Naming Ceremony Marie Winstone 1981
Просмотров 119Год назад
I believe this was raw footage that might have eventually been edited into a news story. It begins with footage of an unnamed ILB crew who I assume are also from Fishguard? This is followed by clips of the naming ceremony including the Duke of Kent's speech and an interview with the boat donor Marie Winstone. A commemorative stamp gives the date of the naming ceremony as 27th October 1981.

I think this was raw footage that might have been subsequently edited for a new story. On 3 August 1981 the Prince Ivanhoe began a pleasure trip starting at Penarth with stops at Minehead and Mumbles and then a cruise along the Gower coast. By the time she left Mumbles she had 450 passengers on board. She navigated close to the shore around Oxwich Point into Port Eynon Bay at 15:35. Whilst emer...
Bequest To A Village Sennan Lifeboat
Просмотров 5 тыс.13 лет назад
An RNLI film from the late 1960's. Personally I think this is one of the best films of its kind as it actually tells a proper story based on the crew of the Sennan Lifeboat in Cornwall. The film jumps a little in the first couple of minutes but then settles down. The narration is by Anthony Quale and some of the lines to camera by the crew are wonderful, including, "the weather that'll feed a f...

    The Pentland Firth is supposed to be one of the five wildest pieces of water in the World. I only ever had one really bad crossing on the Groats ferry when it was a converted fishing boat.

    I've been at sea now for 36 years and to be fair I'm just about to wrap, I feel I have to talk about the RNLI who have ben a constant throughout my experience. My first contact with them was in 1990 in the Southern approaches when a gale dismasted a yacht and our ship answered the channel 16 call and provided a lee for the stricken vessel in tumultuous seas while the Scilly lifeboat made her way there to take off the crew. It really was quite desperate and when we saw the Severn class boat smashing over the massive seas, full hull exposed I felt proud, this thing powered in and took off the yacht crew as if they were in harbour then scarpered with nothing more than a 'thank you'. So cool, so proficient, so professional. From that day on I always but always put the change from a pint in the lifeboat, ALWAYS. Bearing in mind that I work at sea it pains me considerably to have to report that I can no longer donate my assistance to the RNLI because it strikes me that although not all but some of them are complicit in running illegal immigrants into our country a significant portion are, especially those supposedly engaged in life saving operations in the English Channel and I can no longer look upon this institution with pride but now am ashamed of their activities. I and every single British seafarer I know most certainly never donate to the RNLI as it is now and I would urge other members of the public to refrain from doing so also. It's a terrible shame, almost blasphemous but I can no longer support such an organisation.

    It's a shame that this type of craftsmanship is a dying art these days due to speed, cost, and repetition. They still don't make them today as good as the old ones made then. I am a skipper for one of the Floatillas based here in Melbourne for the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard. The boats have changed a lot over the years but nothing is as good as the old vessels for the express purpose that these were built in those times.

    Love this footage as my Great Grandfather Thomas Duffin is one of the boat crew receiving his medal from the then Prince of Wales. Thomas Duffin volunteered that night in Fishguard while his own ship the St. Andrew, operated by GWR, was tied up on the ferry berth. I can only imagine the balls those men had to row an open boat out to the Dutch sailors in distress in foul weather. Funny how my brother is the spit out of Tom Duffin's mouth and how I chose a life at sea, sailing with Stena Line and the same route and rank (AB/Quarter Master) as our Great Grandfather. Thank you Hicklingstandard for this golden moment in the Duffin family history. I was also great-full to come into Toms Seaman's Discharge and Union Subs book. This film tops it off. Thanks again. Gareth Duffin, Wexford Town.
