Lifeboat putting out to sea, St Ives, Cornwall

The James Stevens lifeboat setting out in a choppy sea, St Ives, Cornwall. The James Stevens No.10 was built for St Ives by Thames Ironworks in 1899. At 37.5 feet she was too long to be taken through the narrow streets of St Ives, so was delivered to Hayle and from there taken by sea to her new station. She had a successful career during her 33 years in service, launching 59 times and saving 227 human lives and 5 dogs.
circa 1904
