This evocative photograph captures the Yarmouth Lifeboat Crew of the Isle of Wight in action during the 1910s. The lifeboatmen, dressed in heavy vests and life jackets, are seen preparing their boat for launch on the sandy beach. The large wheels of the trailers are fitted with wooden boards to prevent them from sinking into the soft sand, ensuring a smooth and efficient process. The RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) volunteers are renowned for their selfless dedication to saving lives at sea. The lifeboat, with its distinctive red and white stripes, is a testament to their unwavering commitment to the cause. The crew, with their determined expressions and focused demeanor, exude a sense of readiness and professionalism. The lifeboat, named 'Cork', is a symbol of hope and safety for the local community and visitors to the Isle of Wight. The lifeboatmen, who were all local volunteers, were on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ready to respond to any emergency at sea. Their courage and bravery were a source of pride for the community and a vital lifeline for those in need. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the important role that the Yarmouth Lifeboat Crew played in the lives of the people of the Isle of Wight. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave volunteers and the essential service they provided to their community.
