EDITORS COMMENTS
The end of an era: The old Teesmouth lifeboat takes its final plunge into the sea, marking a bittersweet moment for the dedicated crew and lifeboat chiefs. On this historic day, they bid farewell to their trusted vessel as they welcomed a new super-fast boat to serve the waters of Tees. The photograph captures the essence of camaraderie and determination as the crew members give a thumbs up, ready to face any challenge that comes their way. It is a testament to their unwavering commitment towards saving lives at sea. As this iconic image from January 4th, 1986 reminds us, it was not just another launch; it marked the beginning of a £150,000 appeal launched by these brave individuals. Their goal? To raise funds for their new lifesaving companion. This snapshot from the 1980s transports us back in time when seaside communities relied on selfless acts of charity and support from emergency services like RNLI. It serves as a reminder that even in times of change and progress, there are traditions worth preserving. Let this print be cherished as more than just an archive piece; let it stand as a tribute to those who risked everything for others' safety - reminding us that heroes do exist beyond fiction.
