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 🙏
