They don’t always come back.

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

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.

My great-grandfather was on the crew of the first Longhope lifeboat, his son, nephew and a grandson followed him. The current attacks on the RNLI are beyond shocking.

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.

The 1969 Longhope Lifeboat Disaster - Scottish Maritime Museum
By Amber-Louise Thornborrow Fifty-six years ago, on the evening of the 17th of March 1969, the volunteer crew of the TGB lifeboat assembled, venturing out into a south-easterly force…

At least the Sky boat song would lead me to wonderful folk such as Crossing to Scotland by Abbey Newton.

Support the RNLI? Absolutely. I grew up in NE Scotland - and remember the Fraserburgh and Longhope disasters. We're talking real people, ordinary folks - not institutions?

I'm sorry - "proud to be British" just sits ... VERY uncomfortably. And it's NOT why I make my donations?

I remember well the shocking news of the Longhope Lifeboat disaster, as a primary school kid in Glasgow
I can only imagine the effect it had in Orkney

This summer I happened to visit the Longhope lifeboat museum. This station lost 8 men in one night in 1969 during a rescue, including two fathers, both with two sons onboard with them. In a community of just a few hundred this loss is still keenly felt, and the lifeboat service is hugely appreciated

The Longest Day by Lisa Williams

A collection of stories set in a Leicester high-rise that spans the duration of the longest day. This is a superb collection of short vignettes (actually called a Drabble; stories of exactly 100 words) where we meet the diverse inhabitants of Longhope House.

The attractive village of Longhope. Normally thought of as the largest settlement on the island of Hoy in Orkney, it is actually on the tidal island of South Walls, which since 1912 has been connected to Hoy by a short causeway. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Britain's historic vessels and maritime heritage to be protected with multi-million-pound boost
Britain's historic vessels and maritime heritage are set to be protected thanks to a new £3million investment. The funding will be used in Scotland for the restoration of a historic fishing boat in Fife, the preservation of the Longhope Lifeboat Museum and Station in Orkney, and sector-wide initiatives led by National Historic Ships UK. ### Much of Britain's maritime heritage is thought to be under threat, with around 30 per cent of vessels in the National Historic Fleet considered "at risk". The nation's seafaring history was one of several priority areas identified as needing support by the National Lottery Heritage Fund under its Heritage 2033 strategy. ### TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say The chief executive of the National Lottery Heritage Fund warned the skills and organisations needed to care for historic vessels were "under increasing pressure". Eilish McGuinness said: "Historic vessels are a remarkable part of the UK’s heritage, representing industrial and coastal history, and encapsulating the stories of communities and places." The investment from National Lottery players will ensure the historic vessels last for generations by helping to "revive endangered skills, boost the capacity and resilience needed to safeguard these vessels", she added. The nationwide National Historic Ships UK will receive £1.2million to identify historic vessels most in need of support and help custodians through grants, specialist advice and training. ### ### Hannah Cunliffe, director of National Historic Ships UK, said: "We are delighted to have received this initial support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players we can now develop our plans to strengthen and support the historic vessel sector." The Longhope Lifeboat Museum Trust, on the island of Hoy in Orkney, Scotland, has been granted more than £1.6million. The museum honours generations of Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) crews, including the eight crew members who died in the 1969 Longhope lifeboat disaster. Funding will support conservation of the RNLB Thomas McCunn, the only fully seaworthy, vintage, slipway-launched lifeboat, and restoration of its station. ### BRITAIN'S HERITAGE - READ MORE: * RAF museum ranked one of the world's top attractions on TripAdvisor * First-of-its-kind exhibition on Britain's nuclear testing opens to the public * Historic medieval church tower to be restored to former glory after funding worth thousands secured ### ### It will also be used to improve the museum through new research and a and a visitor centre. Kevin Kirkpatrick, chair of the board of trustees at Longhope Lifeboat Museum, said: "We are absolutely delighted by this news. Your support ensures that the museum stays safe and open; our vintage lifeboat, collections and archives are preserved, and in the new visitor centre, the stories of our past continue to inspire our future." In Fife, the Cellardyke Trust secured £1.2million to rebuild Manx Beauty, a fishing vessel which dates back to the 1930s. The Waid Academy, a secondary school in Anstruther, will be home to a temporary working boatyard to allow pupils and local residents the opportunity to gain hands-on experience through accredited training, apprenticeships, work experience and volunteering. ### ### Once restored, the Manx Beauty will return to Anstruther Harbour as a working heritage vessel. Richard Wemyss, chair of the Cellardyke Trust, said: "We are delighted to hear the news of this award. Cellardyke Trust are now looking forward to getting started with the project and creating meaningful opportunities for our community." Previous investment through the Heritage Fund has gone to the Pioneer Sailing Trust, which used the funds to recruit 12 apprentices to its heritage boat restoration programme and plans to welcome a further 12 this autumn. The funds are intended to secure both the vessels and specialist skills needed to continue preserving Britain's maritime heritage. ### **Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**
