The lifeboat station at Whitby is one of the most famous in the country, its Coxswains and crews have a record of gallantry second to none. This new book contains, for the first time in a single volume, a complete record of all of the Whitby lifeboats, from 1802 right up to 2008.
Dramatic descriptions of the most epic rescues, such as that to the hospital ship Rohilla in 1914, are included, and all of the medal-winning services are given in-depth coverage.
A selection of superb color images showing the station's current lifeboat George and Mary Webb, and the inshore lifeboats add to the impressive number of black and white historical images, many of which have never been published before.
The book has been written with the full co-operation of the Lifeboat Museum and the lifeboat station officials.
