BY the kindness of the Worshipful Company of Shipwrights, the Life-boat service had a space at the exhibition of ships' models and equipment which the Company held in London from 28th January to 8th February of this year.

The Institution showed models of the Original (the first life-boat, built in 1789), a pulling and sailing life-boat of the nineteenth century, the modern 46-feet Watson cabin life-boat, a diagram in relief showing the interior of a Watson cabin boat, and portraits of life-boatmen.

When the commentator of the B.B.C.

visited the exhibition on the first day, he was allowed to take away the Original to be televised, and she was seen in the B.B.C.'s "Picture Page" that afternoon and evening..
