Another image looking across the marina from the East Quay this time to the colourful market stalls on the Southern quayside at Watchet on the Somerset Coast!

The long retired lifeboat in center of the image is possibly an ex RNLI Liverpool class boat from around 1939,
although this is not conclusive, any information would be welcome!

HWW! To all,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Large for detail!

The brave men of Staithes lifeboat giveing there time and risking there lives to people thay don't even know and hope to all in danger at sea.
Lifeboat volunteers perform an essential and heroic service, often putting themselves in danger to save others at sea. Their dedication is truly commendable and inspires awe in me.

SC140 - post 30 March - Poster style.

I couldn't get this looking good in portrait format, but attempted the 'feeling' of old seaside posters. Posters of all kinds were produced, usually by the railways, to promote tourist spots in Great Britain.

Whitby

Whitby Abbey was founded in 657 AD by King Oswiu, as an act of thanksgiving, after defeating Penda, the pagan king of Mercia. The abbey became the leading royal nunnery of the kingdom of Deira, and the burial-place of its royal family. In 664, the Synod of Whitby took place, which determined the calculation of the Christian date of Easter, according to which Easter always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the beginning of spring on March 21st. This rule for the movable holiday prevailed throughout Europe and is still in force today.

When Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries and the abbey here surrendered in 1539. By then the town that had developed had between 20 and 30 houses and a population of about 200.

The city was the training ground for Britain's most important seafarer, James Cook. The ships for his numerous sea voyages were built here, and the important South Seas voyage of 1768 also began here. Cook used the sturdy ships built here based on Norwegian models, for all of his South Seas voyages. His monument overlooks the city's harbor.

Borth lifeboat station was established in 1966, with a new boathouse built in 1987. It has always had the small D-class inshore boats, but the crews have performed some remarkable services, including one qualifying for a Bronze Medal in 2001.

Watson : 47ft : The Robert {ON 955} - looking at the bow.
Built 1960 at a cost of £35,500.00. Served in all four nations :-
Broughty Ferry [Scotland] - 1960 to 1978 ; converted to fully self-righting in 1976/77 ; Baltimore [Ireland] 1978 to 1984 ; Lytham St Annes [England] 1985 to 1988 ; Beaumaris [Wales] 1989 to 1991 .
Probably her most famous service was in 1979, she was the first lifeboat launched to the rescue during Fastnet Race disaster, she was on service for over 24 hours. The station displays a special framed certificate of thanks for the 1979 Fastnet Race service.
Sold out of service in 1992, and now berths in Kingswear, Devon [largely unaltered as a pleasure boat].
