It’s not often you see a scene like this. Crews from RNLI Longhope Lifeboat, Thurso Lifeboat and RNLI Stromness Lifeboat steaming round Cantick Head in the Orkney Islands. The video was taken by Wick Lifeboat crew member Stuart Campbell from their all-weather lifeboat, which also formed part of the convoy. They were all heading to the Lifeboat Memorial in Kirk Hope to remember the eight Longhope crew lost in March 1969. A powerful moment from a day of events to mark the 50th anniversary of the t

This amazing historic footage from 1916 shows our volunteer crews performing a practice lifeboat launch on Formby beach. Horses tow the boat onto the waves - the boathouse was 100 yards inland.
