From Baird Maritime
Many mariners outside of the United Kingdom and Ireland would be surprised to learn that the Royal National Lifeboat Institution is just as well established around Ireland's rugged coasts as it is in Britain.
This beautifully presented little book clears up the misconception very effectively. Commencing with a brief but informative history of the lifeboat service in Ireland – starting in the early 1800s – it shows what an impressive organisation it has become.
A series of sensibly formatted and very well illustrated chapterettes describe all forty-five currently active lifeboat stations located right around the Irish coast.
If you happen to get into trouble at sea off Ireland it is comforting to know that such an effective force of potential rescuers is always at the ready.
