EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in Aberystwyth's history. In this snapshot from the 13th of February 1986, we see the dedicated crew of Aberystwyth's RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) and their lifeboat at an unexpected location - the town's fire station. The image tells a story of collaboration between two essential emergency services. The photograph documents a unique situation where the local fire service came to the rescue of the stranded lifeboat. Due to engineering work on the towns quay, blocking its entrance, the lifeboat had been cut off from its boathouse. However, thanks to swift action by these heroic firefighters, they were able to provide temporary shelter for both crew and vessel. This image is not just about transportation or shipping; it represents something much more profound - selflessness and dedication towards saving lives. It showcases how different organizations can come together in times of need for a common cause: ensuring safety and protection for all. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is renowned as one of Britain's most cherished charities, embodying bravery and compassion through their lifesaving missions at sea. This photo serves as a testament to their commitment while also highlighting the invaluable role played by our local emergency services. As we delve into this nostalgic piece captured by an anonymous staff member, let us appreciate those who dedicate themselves to serving others without hesitation or expectation of reward – true heroes among us.
