Ramsgate - The crew of the Motor Lifeboat Prudential, captured in a timeless photograph by Alfieri. This remarkable image transports us back to 24 April 1926, where we find ourselves standing alongside these brave men on the sandy shores of Ramsgate. In the back row stands Thomas William Read, an experienced coxswain leading this dedicated team. Flanked by him are Howard Light and William Cook, their faces etched with determination and unwavering commitment to their life-saving mission. The front row introduces us to William Little, William Vernon, Joseph Read, William Cooper, and Thomas Read Junior. Their order may be unknown but their unity is evident as they proudly wear oil skins and life jackets that symbolize their readiness for any perilous sea rescue. Behind them looms the majestic Rother class lifeboat Prudential – a vessel equipped with a powerful petrol engine ready to conquer even the most treacherous waves.

This snapshot encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents the dedication of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in safeguarding lives at sea.

Alfieri's masterful composition captures both the strength of character within each crew member and their unbreakable
