Support for those in peril on the sea may come from the Eternal Father of the seafarer’s hymn and/or lifeboat crews and will also always include people further afield who raise the funds to buy the boats. Aberystwyth’s inshore, inflatable lifeboat, the first of its kind in the UK, was paid for by patrons of The Rising Sun pub, London EC4. These mute off-cuts from a sound film as yet untraced, show the crew, the old lifeboat station, the pre-marina harbour and town landmarks.
