Identification
Item: W & S, Penlee Lifeboat
Description: W and S lifeboat, with passengers, approaching Mousehole harbour. Cox Eddie Madron (coxswain), 2nd from left; Jack Worth (second coxswain) behind wheel; Owen Ladner behind funnel; Arnold Gartrell at bow. The RNLI flag flies from the masthead. The W and S was a Watson (cabin) motor lifeboat stationed at Penlee Point from 1931 to 1960. She replaced the Watson (open) motor lifeboat The Brothers and was herself replaced by the Solomon Browne. In a fresh south westerly wind, a wave-dashed St Clement's Isle fills the background. On one day a year local branches of the RNLI held a 'lifeboat day' to thank the volunteers and to raise funds - trips on the lifeboat were often offered.
