Fifty-five years ago today, on 17 March 1969, the lifeboat from Longhope in Orkney capsized with the loss of all eight crew. This is the Longhope Lifeboat Museum on Hoy, which tells the story of Longhope's lifeboats. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/hoy/lifeboatmuseum/index.html
