EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the courage and dedication of the lifeboat crew at Cromer, near Sheringham in Norfolk, England, in the early 20th century. The image, dated 1910, shows Coxswain Harrison standing resolutely on the shore, gazing out to sea with a determined expression. The lifeboat, named 'For Those in Peril on the Sea,' is visible in the background, ready and waiting to be launched in response to a distress call. The lifeboat station at Cromer has a rich history, having been established in 1804, making it one of the oldest in the country. The crew, all volunteers, were responsible for the safety of the many fishermen and sailors who braved the North Sea, which could be treacherous and unforgiving at times. The lifeboatmen were a vital part of the community, and their selfless acts of bravery were celebrated and remembered. The photograph captures the essence of the lifeboatman's role - a constant vigilance, a readiness to put their own lives at risk to save others. Coxswain Harrison, with his years of experience and unwavering commitment, embodies the spirit of the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) and the vital work that it does. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, and the ongoing importance of the lifeboat service in saving lives at sea.
