Penlee Lifeboat Station Issues Request for Photo of Historic Solomon Browne

Penlee Lifeboat is calling for the public’s help in locating a photograph of the Solomon Browne lifeboat, once pictured inside the boathouse at Penlee Point. The image has been credited to the Trevelyan Richards collection, but Penlee Lifeboat is seeking a copy to display in the boathouse.

Can You Help?

The Penlee Lifeboat team is particularly keen to find this historic image as it holds significance to the station’s rich heritage. They are asking anyone who may have a copy or knows where to find one to come forward.

The Solomon Browne was a legendary lifeboat, and preserving its memory is a priority for Penlee Lifeboat. The photo would serve as a tribute to the vessel and its important place in Penlee’s history.

How to Get in Touch

Anyone who can help with this request is encouraged to reach out directly via the Penlee Lifeboat team. The hope is to have the photograph up in the Penlee Point boathouse soon, once the search proves successful.
