Sobre IBD

This book is a collection of classic articles on the subject of life boats, providing information on their history, development, notable historical rescue mission, and much more. Timeless and informative, these articles will appeal to those with an interest in all things nautical, and would make for worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “The Life-Boat and Its Story—Noel T. Methley”, “The Lifeboat – Its History and Heroes— F. M. Holmes”, and “Francis’ Metallic Lifeboat Company—George F. Allen”. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of boating.
