Description

Storm Warriors of the Suffolk Coast is a tale of lifeboat service on the Suffolk coast and is one of those occasions when words and pictures come together in a magical way to recall times gone by. The text was first written by Ernest Read Cooper and published in 1937; this new edition is revised and updated by maritime historian Robert Malster.

When originally published, no illustrations were included – though Cooper, as station Honorary Secretary at Southwold, had often gone to sea with the lifeboat – and he’d often taken his Kodak box camera with him. Today’s lifeboats all carry cameras to help with publicity for the RNLI; then is was a rarity. To have a picture from 1905 of the crew of the Joseph and Yvonne clinging to the mast of their sunken vessel as the lifeboat moved in to save them, is unique.
