EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Cooke, we witness a poignant moment in history. Coxswain Bob Davies stands tall and resolute, his gaze fixed on the horizon as he prepares to fire the last maroon. The Ferryside station, a symbol of hope and safety for countless souls lost at sea, is about to be closed down at the end of the month. Lt. Col. Charles Neville, the Honorary Secretary, stands stoically in the background, his presence a testament to the dedication and commitment of those involved in this noble cause. It is June 22nd, 1960 - a date etched forever in their memories. This image transports us back to an era when shipping emergencies were met with unwavering bravery by lifeboat crews like these. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), represented here by Coxswain Bob Davies and Lt. Col. Charles Neville, was an organization built on selflessness and compassion. As we reflect upon this snapshot from Carmarthen Bay's history, we are reminded of the vital role played by charities such as RNLI in safeguarding lives at sea. This particular print serves as both a tribute to those who served tirelessly within these organizations and as a reminder that even amidst closures or transitions, their legacy lives on.
