In this special episode, we dive into the history and future of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) as it celebrates 200 years of saving lives at sea.
Jess and Hannah are joined by special guests: Joanna Bellis, the RNLI’s Interpretation Development Officer, and Laura Penhaul, a trainee helm at the St Agnes Lifeboat Station. Together, they explore the evolution of lifeboats, training practices throughout the ages, and what it means to be part of the RNLI today.
From the early days of distress calls and crew gathering before the age of pagers to Neptune’s favourite tipple! This episode is jam packed with something for everyone.
Guests: Joanna Bellis – Interpretation Development Officer, RNLI Laura Penhaul – Trainee Helm, St Agnes Lifeboat Station
Episode artwork: We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the RNLI for granting us permission to use images from their incredible archive. The image we chose for our episode artwork shows the wreck of the Adolf Vinnen at The Lizard in 1923 (the local lifeboat assisted with aftermath) – this showing a Breeches Buoy from the clifftop. Images such as this help bring the history and legacy of the RNLI to life in our episode. All credits for the images go to the RNLI. From the RNLI Archive
