Last repost: I used to have family on Hoy. The story there was the Longhope disaster of 1969.

Many coastal communities have stories like that, and every one deserves to be retold, and anyone who attacks the lifeboats has declared war on humanity.

Fifty-seven years ago today, on 17 March 1969, the lifeboat from Longhope in Orkney capsized with the loss of all eight crew. This is the Longhope Lifeboat Museum on Hoy, which tells the story of Longhope's lifeboats. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Yesterday I was lucky enough to visit the beautiful Longhope Lifeboat Museum and learn about the dreadful disaster of 1969, the ripples from which are still felt in this small community today. #Orkney #History #Maritime #Museums rnli.org/magazine/mag...

Mostly I just need to go from Longhope to Lyness, driving round beautiful North Bay. Today I’m doing visits in stunning Rackwick, driving through the mountains of Hoy #GP #Medsky

For good measure also on board was William Mowat,coxswain of the Longhope Lifeboat, to pilot the wallowing hulk past Duncansby Head. Controversially, at home and in Germany, the 3 tugs that would take Moltke on her final voyage were German, including "Seefalke" – the most powerful in the world 💪

One of the most powerful Scottish slow airs is “the Heroes of Longhope”
Longhope is in Orkney, and in 1969 8 of their crew met the same fate. Despite that, crews like those in Cornwall in the 80s and more today still go to sea in the worst of weathers to try and save lives, at the risk of their own
Every year on 19 December, the famous Christmas lights at Mousehole in Cornwall are dimmed between 8 and 9pm, leaving just the Cross and Angels shining down across the village and out to sea.

They don’t always come back.

Many of the same surnames have been on the crew list down the generations.
