TA0488 : Launching Scarborough lifeboat 1

taken 10 years ago, near to Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England

Launching Scarborough lifeboat 1
Launching Scarborough lifeboat 1
Following a ceremony at Scarborough Lifeboat Station, the lifeboat was launched for the last time from this lifeboat house. The lifeboat house is soon to be demolished to make way for a bigger one to accommodate the new Shannon class lifeboat. The ceremony also commemorated, almost to the hour, the 60th anniversary of the capsize of the lifeboat ECJR with the loss of three lives.
At this point the lifeboat is halfway down the ramp. West Pier and the fish market in the background.
