The remarkable 200-year history of The RNLI and their invaluable role in British Maritime history. A beautiful book of kindness, courage, and community to treasure for years to come. This beautiful book from one of the UK’s best-loved charities will span their impressive 200-year history. Throughout this time, The RNLI has seen many huge cultural and societal shifts as well as significant historical moments, and they have been actively involved in so many – from the first female lifeboat launcher and their effort during both world wars, to the evolution of their cutting-edge lifeboat technology, record-breaking rescues, selfless sacrifices, and outstanding acts. At the heart of the RNLI history is the human connection to the communities, volunteers, survivors, and supporters, and – just like everything they do – this book is both about them and for them.
