To save the lives of mariners at the mercy of the North Sea storms that swept the coast of East Yorkshire, in 1805, the men of Bridlington Quay established a Lifeboat at the port. This book pilots the reader through two centuries of transformation from a wooden rowing boat, launched by horses and manpower, to the hi-tech vessel.
