Although Wells on the Norfolk Coast Was the Last RNLI Station to Use Horses for Launching—That Was In 1934— Horses Are Still Used In Some Parts of the Netherlands
Although Wells, on the Norfolk coast, was the last R.N.L.I, station to use horses for launching—that was in 1934— horses are still used in some parts of the Netherlands. Here the Ameland life-boat, because of difficult coastal conditions, has to be launched by eight farm horses. It revives memories of the famous chariot race in Ben Hur.
