More about this scene
The lifeboat house is near St Ia's church. The town was given its first lifeboat in 1839. The crews, usually local fishermen, were courageous but held the sea in great respect. Often, having themselves resolved to sit out the bad weather on dry land, they were obliged to venture out to rescue others less prudent.
