The lifeboats of Valentia have been in service since 1946, when the volunteer crew were summoned to action by the firing of maroon flares. Dick Robinson has been associated with the lifeboat station for almost sixty of those years, firstly as a child watching the flares, then as a serving crewmember, and finally as a maritime historian.
