Excerpt from The Book of the Lifeboat: With a Complete History of the Lifeboat Saturday Movement, Numerous Original Illustrations, and Thrilling Narratives Written by Eye-Witnesses of Shipwrecks and Lifeboat Rescues on the Coasts of the British Isles; The Dangers and Excitements Set Forth
It was in the hope of placing some of the more startling and thrilling incidents of lifeboat work before those who are not versed in the subject that the Editors bethought them of publishing this volume, which they trust may, in two ways, benefit the Institution firstly, in a direct way, by having a large sale and secondly, indirectly, by interesting many in the subject who have hitherto regarded lifeboats with the calm indifference of ignorance.
