WHEN Messrs. J. Samuel White, the famous shipbuilders of Cowes, delivered the Aberdeen life-boat in June, 1951, they had completed their hundredth life-boat for the Institution.

Their life-boat work goes back over a hundred vears, to the forties of last century when they themselves designed the Lamb and White life-boat. It was used in the first place as a ship's boat and was largely adopted by the Admiralty, but three were built—the first in 1898 —for the coast, and were stationed at Cardigan, Broadstairs and Margate.
