Including my 5 x great grandfather Joseph Hughes aged 38 years, his brother Richard Hughes aged 36 years and Richard’s son Thomas Hughes aged 16 years .....

Bless all those who were lost and also give thanks for today's brave crews of the RNLI who continue to provide sterling service for those in peril on the sea.
