Considered one of the most treacherous areas of Britain's
coastline, Land's End has seen many shipwrecks over the past 2,000
years. Where the waters of the Atlantic meet those of the English
Channel, storms are frequent and violent and have caught out many a
ship. Thousands have been dashed against the rocky granite coast.
In 1853, the RNLI established a lifeboat station at nearby Sennen
Cove and the people of this small Cornish village have been saving
lives ever since. The crews of Sennen have saved many lives in the
past 160 years, helping those in distress from sailing dinghies to
the largest of cargo ships. Nicholas Leach tells the story of
Sennen's lifeboats and the volunteer lifeboat crews who have manned
them in this fully revised and updated history of the lifeboat and
wrecks off the tip of Cornwall.
