Lifeboat Gallantry

This is not only a book of reference but also a record of valiant deeds to make the reader realise just how many lives have been saved due to the selfless efforts of those who have risked their own lives to rescue others from the sea. Since the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was founded on 4th March 1824, over 2,400 medals have been awarded for gallantry. This book contains the first complete list of all such medals, together with details of the services involved.
