EDITORS COMMENTS
The Volunteer Life Brigade at Work: Saving Lives at Sea during The Late Storm (1886) This evocative photograph captures the moment of intense action as members of the Volunteer Life Brigade prepare to launch a rocket life-saving apparatus during a storm at sea. The date is 1886, and the scene is one of peril and urgency. A ship in trouble is depicted in the distance, battered by the storm's fury, with its mast barely visible above the churning waves. The life-saving apparatus, kept ready for use on the shore, consists of a rocket that is fired towards the distressed vessel to throw a life-line over the ship. Once the line is secured, a hawser (heavy rope) is brought on board the ship, and the sling life-buoy is set in operation to bring the seamen and passengers safely ashore. The volunteer life brigade, a group of unpaid and dedicated individuals, worked tirelessly to save lives at sea during times of crisis. Their heroic efforts were crucial in the days before modern maritime safety measures and commercial rescue services became commonplace. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the historical significance of these life-saving operations. The rocket, hawser, and sling life-buoy were essential tools in the arsenal of the volunteer life brigade, and their successful deployment could mean the difference between life and death for those in peril on the storm-tossed seas.
