Historic Lifeboat Rally - Fowey

Video taken of the Historic Lifeboat rally in Fowey Cornwall in 2004.

A report from the 2009 Rally:

There was a great turnout for the Ex-Lifeboat rally on Saturday 20th June, with nine restored lifeboats making the journey to Fowey. In total, over 100 people went for a trip through the harbour on the ‘William Cantrell Ashley’, which served for 19 years in Clovelly. Once again the ‘Ryder’ could be seen rowing through the harbour. Among the other ex-lifeboats moored at Berrills Yard pontoon was the spectacular sight of the 60ft wooden Barnett Class lifeboat, the ‘William and Kate Johnston’ built in 1923 and the ‘Michael Stephens’ which famously took part in the Dunkirk rescues in June 1940. All of the boats were open to the public between 11.00am and 4.00pm.
