It's the anniversary today of the infamous 1981 Penlee Lifeboat Disaster on 19 December 1981, when all the crew of the Penlee lifeboat 'Solomon Browne', based near Newlyn in Cornwall, were tragically lost attempting to rescue the crew and passengers of the stricken coaster 'Union Star'.
Just a couple of miles down the road from where I live is the coastal town of Seaham in Co Durham and to this day, despite the passage of time, I've never forgotten the night the town made the headlines for another lifeboat disaster somewhat closer to home.
The Seaham Lifeboat Disaster occurred on 17 November 1962, when the local RNLI lifeboat 'George Elmy' capsized near the harbour walls pictured here, killing five volunteer crew members and four fishermen, including a nine-year-old boy, after rescuing them from another fishing boat, 'Economy', under atrocious stormy conditions.

Perhaps you're old enough to remember the #Penlee #lifeboat disaster, which happened 41 years today? A crew of 8 volunteers set out in #RNLI's "Solomon Browne" in hurricane force winds & 18m waves to rescue the crew from a boat whose engines had failed & was drifting towards rocks.
Despite heroic attempts, 16 lives were lost.
My "Weather Map of Folklore & Fact" remembers the heroism & tragedy of Penlee.
Please #SupportTheRNLI 🙏

When you wake this morning please take a few minutes to remember the eight extremely brave, fearless and selfless lifeboatmen, all sons of Mousehole, who made the ultimate sacrifice on the 19th December 1981. Their courage, dedication, determination, valour and heroism serves as a beacon to us all. Gone but never forgotten...greater love hath no man.
