A scrapbook of the lifeboat year in Swanage as it appears to me: the characters, the boats, the shouts, training, thoughts and fun
From your title, I'd guess it was used for firing maroons!
a fine example of elfin safety at work- ours is still pristine!
advances in technology eh, probably replaced by pagers now
Is it used to hold a certain part of a lifeboatmans (not womans) anatomy?
as above, used to fire maroons to alert the crew that there was a need for them to launch. Now replaced by pagers, due to health and safety!
quite right folks...bit easy!
We used to use this bit of kit a lot. As you can see from the state of it, it is pretty much redundent nowadays. Can anyone guess what it is/was?
