The new lifeboat at Sumner, Rescue, and her crew

1898

The boat was a double-ended, 25-foot clinker-built and copper-fastened mahogany displacement lifeboat. She had four oars, a steer rudder, with yoke, mast, sail, life lanyards and towing bollards at each end. The boat was light enough to be launched easily off a slipway and suitable for use over a bar where the water was at times only five or six feet deep. The boat was housed in a corrugated iron boatshed built on part of Cave Rock where it was easily guided down a wooden slipway. From left the crew pictured are William Hines, Stanley Monck, Thomas Hines, William Thomas and Joseph Day
