About this title

Synopsis

Since the early 19th century, the RNLI and its predecessors have been at the forefront of saving lives around Britain�s coasts. Putting to sea in all weathers, they are on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Bravery and drama are constant companions of the crews as they battle against the sea and the weather. Edward Wake-Walker describes fifteen dramatic rescues in the RNLI�s long and distinguished history that have shaped the development of the organization we know today. They span almost 200 years and the examples are tasters of some of the truly incredible rescue stories related by the author.

About the Author

Edward Wake-Walker worked for twenty-eight years with the RNLI, the final sixteen as PR Director. He is the author of several books on the RNLI and its history: Gold Medal Rescues (David & Charles, 1992), Lost Photographs of the RNLI (Sutton, 2004), and The Lifeboat Story (Sutton 2007).
