Almost surrounded by water, Cornwall faces the full force of the Atlantic Ocean and separates the English Channel from the Irish Sea. Many vessels of all kinds ply the shipping routes around the country. This book is devoted to the long and dramatic story of the Cornishman's enduring relationship with the sea, not simply to ensure his own preservation but also to ensure the survival of his fellow man. It contains the concentrated histories of the 23 Cornish lifeboat stations past and present.

Soft cover. Condition: New Book. No Jacket. First Edition. New Book pictorial cover laminated no DJ. 231 pages. Many black and white illustrations. 'Sheila Bird recounts the history of sea rescue in Cornwall from the earliest days. She records, too, the evolution of life-saving equipment and techniques and describes the eventual establishment of lifeboat stations throughout the county and on the Isles of Scilly. The story that evolves is firmly rooted among ordinary members of a host of seafaring communities around the Cornish coast, of young men who dedicate themselves to a life of service, and to the most extraordinary acts of human courage.
