Core Cork Crew Essex Life Boat Lifebelts Naze Rescue Rnli True Voluntary Walton
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the brave and dedicated crew of the first voluntary lifeboat of Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, named True to the Core. Dating back to around 1905, the crew members are seen here wearing their essential cork lifebelts, a crucial piece of equipment for their dangerous work. The Edwardian-era men, all residents of Walton-on-the-Naze, were volunteers dedicated to saving lives at sea. The RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) lifeboat station in Walton-on-the-Naze was established in 1803, making it one of the oldest in the organization. The crew's commitment and courage were vital to the coastal community, as the North Sea was known for its unpredictable and treacherous waters. The True to the Core lifeboat was a testament to the selflessness and bravery of these local heroes, who put their lives on the line to rescue those in peril. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the vital role that volunteer lifeboat crews continue to play in saving lives at sea.
