A lifeboat. #photography #lifeboat #rnli RNLI

A picture of the lifeboat in the park, with info from "crazymom52" - "The "Tyne" Lifeboat, built in 1833, is the world's second oldest lifeboat in existence. It was given to the Tyne Lifeboat Institution 1884 & put on display to honor the men of the Institution. It was severely damaged by a bomb in 1941 & restored." As I recall, the thick area around the top is cork.

After a long absence - A Moment in Time returns, I hope with daily toots. Today it's a picture from inside St. Hilda's in South Shields, England, a city at the mouth of the Tyne. This is where my mother's mother and her ancestors come from. This little lifeboat hanging from the ceiling of St. Hilda's as a tribute to the heroic lifeboat crews of the area. There is a full size South Shields lifeboat in the park - a thing of beauty.. .

I see #Orkney's exploration of 'alternative Government' arrangements & its interest in transferring to #Norway is capturing many people's interest here.... it almost like (if they succeed) we'd all like to move to Orkney (as if it was a #lifeboat).

If they *do* pull it off, I wonder whether suddenly the island(s) will be two small for all those who suddenly want to live their.... its all starting to feel a little like a remix of the Mouse that Roared!

Happy end to a rescue boat nautical day, with a B, Atlantic 85, Servern and ending with a Shannon on a SLARS, which is my favourite machine. And I say that as someone who controls spacecraft. #rnli @OutOnAShout #Llandudno #lifeboat #respectTheWater

@TheAuthorVivian Looks like they're from the same mould 😃 It started for me as a teenager 50 years ago going in a small boat and realising if we needed help the RNLI were a charity/volunteers. I've never been on crew, but do volunteer to help with training and to talk in schools about the #RNLI #Harwich #Lifeboat has just done 4,000 launches since originally opened in 1824!

1. #Spring has sprung and we’ve done quite well with windowsill pots.

2. Pleasant walk around town/market.

3. Haircut in preparation for #Lifeboat dinner dance tomorrow.

Fifty-four years ago today, on 17 March 1969, the lifeboat from Longhope in Orkney capsized with the loss of all eight crew. This is the Longhope Lifeboat Museum on Hoy, which tells the story of Longhope's lifeboats. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/hoy/lifeboatmuseum/index.html
