RNLI timeline: 200 years of lifesaving
Вставка

- Take a look back through 200 years of lifesaving history. Since 1824, the RNLI and its family of lifesavers have been working to save every one they can.
From the dedication of our volunteer lifeboat crews and lifeguards, to the innovations developed to help bring crews and casualties home safely, this video timeline tells the story of what it takes to be the charity that saves lives at sea.
It’s a story of triumph and tragedy. But also a story of kindness. Because everything the RNLI does is powered by the kindness of our supporters. Without donations from people like you, we couldn’t save lives.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, lifeboat crews around the UK and Ireland are ready to launch to help those in need. Whether you're stuck on a sinking ship, cut off by a rapidly rising tide, or in the water and close to drowning, RNLI crew members will drop everything to come to your rescue. The vast majority of RNLI lifeboat crews and station staff are volunteers.
But it’s not just lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards patrol 242 beaches, keeping people safe, providing safety advice and rescuing those in trouble. Education volunteers visit schools and swimming clubs to help teach the next generation how to enjoy the water safely. And volunteer fundraisers and shop workers give up their time to generate vital funds. The RNLI is also working to help communities around the world that are most at risk of drowning.
If you spot someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.

Brilliant Hero’s all
Thank you for your kind words and support, Carol 💙
WHAT WONDERFUL MEN AND WOMEN YOU ALL ARE . GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Thanks Maria!
I think Sir William Hillary would be extraordinarily happy to see that 200 years after he founded it, it's still going strong, to the many volunteers that go out of their way to save us from the oceans perils, I say thank you, to many many years to come, hurrah
Thanks so much for your kind words! We're so honoured to be able to continue this lifesaving work for 200 years.
Very moving. Never forget what these brave people do. Support them.
This is excellent. Always in awe of the brave crews. If I'm ever lucky enough to live near the coast, I'd like to think I'd volunteer 🌊
We're so glad you enjoyed this journey through our history, we're glad to have your support - wherever you are!
Thanks to all these brave people
This was quite a feat in such a short video but though I'm a fast reader I found I didn't have time to finish reading every caption before it disappeared off the screen.
Keep yourselves safe & thank you for everything you do.
You are allowed to watch it again you know.....
@@paulstephenson2035 Haha, I'm aware of that but doesn't make for easy viewing if you have to keep going back. Thank you for your helpful comment though...... 😊
All of you at RNLI are true heroes, and I have no words to truly express how I feel about what you do. But please, please keep on doing it!
Thanks Jill, we will!
Hooray for our heroes in yellow wellies!
Excellent video! Thank you for that. A tad disappointed that the 1881 Indian Chief rescue off Ramsgate- which gained international prominence- wasn't listed, though.
Thank you. It was tough putting 200 years into 2 minutes, we're sorry we weren't able to include that incredible rescue
Heroes everyone of you! 💖
Thanks Joan! 😊
In dark times it's wonderful to know that the human spirit burns bright. Absolute respect and gratitude to all at the RNLI.
I was born and brought up in Cromer and learned about Henry Blogg. The church choir had an interesting tradition. If the maroons went off during a Sunday service, the service would stop and the congregation and choir would sing the first verse of Eternal Father, strong to save, with Norman Cutting playing the organ. I suppose that this tradition no longer survives because the crew is alerted by pagers not maroons. Did any other churches near a lifeboat station observe this tradition of singing Eternal Father strong to save, if the lifeboat was summoned during a Sunday service?

An excellent synopsis of 200 years human chivalry towards a neighbour in distress at sea. Why then then include that irritating music. Two, the documentary is very good so why not make its presentation 6 minutes so one can savour it? Roger.
Thank you Roger. We have a full timeline on our website which goes into more detail about our history which you might enjoy - rnli.org/about-us/our-history/timeline Thanks for the feedback about the length and music 🙂
