Friday Photo: Off to the wreck

September 15, 2017 By John 3 Comments

*click for larger version

Here’s a good old photo of a Hoylake lifeboat launch that I don’t think I seen before!

Entitled “Off to the Wreck”, the horses are ready to pull the lifeboat across the sand for a launch. I can’t seem to make out any crew in the boat mind. Can anyone put a date to this photo?

I’m not sure if the perspectives are playing tricks with my eyes – would you agree that the row of terraced houses in the far right of the photo are the backs of houses in Queens Road?

    The new Lifeboat station opened on the 11th November 1899. The boat is the Coard William squarey and she was replaced by the Hannah Fawsett Bennett in 1906. So it must be between 1899 -1906
