EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1960, capturing a significant moment in the history of Ferryside station. As the month draws to a close, members of the crew gather in front of the lifeboat Caroline Oates Aver and William Maine, knowing that their beloved station is about to be closed down. The emotions are palpable as they pose for this timeless image. In the background stands Lt. Col. Charles Neville, the Honorary Secretary, his presence symbolizing both pride and sadness at this turning point. Coxswain Bob Davies can also be seen wearing his distinctive white cap, a testament to his leadership and dedication. The scene evokes memories of camaraderie among these brave men who served on Carmarthen Bay's lifeboats during an era when shipping emergencies were common occurrences. This photograph not only captures their commitment but also pays tribute to their invaluable contribution towards saving lives at sea. Behind them lies more than just a backdrop; it represents years of service by countless individuals who worked tirelessly under challenging circumstances. It serves as a reminder of how crucial organizations like RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) are in providing rescue services along our coastlines. As we gaze upon this poignant image from Memory Lane Prints, we cannot help but reflect on the selflessness displayed by these charity-driven crews who risked everything for others' safety – truly embodying what it means to be heroes without capes.
