Ballycotton Lifeboats

Ballycotton lifeboat station is one of the most famous in Ireland, and one of the best known of any in the whole lifeboat service. First established in 1858, the station has a long and proud history of rescuing those in peril off the coast of County Cork. The celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the station's founding took place in September 2008. This new publication provides an up-to-date history of the station with comprehensive details of all the lifeboats that have seen service over the past century and a half. This book includes many black and white photographs and approximately 32 colour images of more recent boats.
