On the night of the 19th December 1981, in horrendous storm conditions, the mini-bulk carrier ‘Union Star’ suffered engine failure east of the Wolf Rock. Refusing tug assistance, the ship found itself being swept towards the coast at Boscawen Point, west of the Tater-du lighthouse. The Penlee lifeboat launched from Mousehole in total darkness, 100 mph winds and waves cresting to 60 feet.
Listen from 39:30.
The last communications of the lifeboat #SolomonBrowne trying to rescue a ship in 60 foot waves during the #PenleeLifeboatDisaster.
The frantic calls from Falmouth Coastguard trying to contact them.
Don't forget that everyone of these people is a volounteer.
Give the #RNLI your fucking money 🙂 -

If you've ever wondered what absolute courage looks like, consider this.
When the #RNLI lifeboat #SolomonBrowne went down on a rescue mission on December 19, 1981, THREE other lifeboat crews launched into the same weather to try to help them.

A photo a day of #OurBeautifulWorld - taken this morning as immense storm waves came racing in to batter the medieval Mousehole harbour wall. It's sobering to remember that that is the 41st anniversary of the Penlee Lifeboat Disaster, when the crew of the Solomon Browne bravely launched in weather much worse than this - and in the dark - to attempt a rescue of a foundering vessel off Lamorna. Tragically, all hands perished.
