EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque Mullion Cove, located on the stunning Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Dating from around 1900, it offers a glimpse into the history of this charming fishing community and its life-saving endeavors. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the Lifeboat house, standing proudly against the rugged coastal backdrop. This humble structure served as a vital base for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution's operations since 1867 when they stationed their first lifeboat here - Daniel J. Draper. Over two decades, this heroic vessel carried out three daring rescues and saved three precious lives. Following her honorable service, Daniel J. Draper was succeeded by Edith (1887-1894) and Nancy Newbon (1894-1908). Although these subsequent boats were never called upon to perform any rescue missions during their tenure at Mullion Cove, they stood ready with unwavering dedication. Regrettably, after more than four decades of safeguarding seafarers along this treacherous coastline, the life-saving service was withdrawn in 1908. Nevertheless, this photograph immortalizes an era when bravery and selflessness thrived within Cornish communities like Mullion Cove. Captured by an unknown photographer whose work has endured through time, this evocative image transports us back to an era where lifeboats symbolized hope amidst turbulent waters. It serves as a poignant reminder of both our maritime heritage and those who risked everything to
