After dinner, Tony gave a brief talk on saving lives at sea, dating back to 1777, when the first unsinkable boat was designed, following up with a brief history of the RNLI from its formation on the 4th March 1824, as the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwrecks (shortly afterwards being granted the ‘Royal’ prefix by King George 4th), to its name change on the 5th October 1854, when it became the RNLI as we know it.
