Sunday marked the 103rd anniversary of the Salcombe RNLI disaster. One of the worst lifeboat accidents in our history, the capsizing of the oar-powered William and Emma on 27 October 1916 left only two survivors from a volunteer crew of 15. One of them, Eddie Distin went on to become the station's coxswain until his retirement in 1951. And his great grandson James is on the crew today. | RNLI

When the alarm is raised, we currently use a reliable network of pagers to reach our crews 📟 But it hasn’t always been that way... Every £110 we raise today could buy lifesaving equipment such as a pager for a crew member. ***A correction to some information in the video below: the phone app referred to is now in full use across the lifeboat fleet. It's called RCAMS and it complements the excellent pager system seen in the video*** | RNLI
