(Above) Of the £6,000 raised by Salcombe and Hope branch, no less than £2,066 resulted from the efforts of the lifeboat crew and their wives. Money was raised by dances and other functions, but a large proportion came from donations placed in a box outside Edward Hannaford's boatshed in Island Street. Throughout the season, Edward (centre), who is motor mechanic of Salcombe lifeboat, his wife Sheila, and their colleague, Crew Member Frank Smith (r.) maintain a supply of shells and magazines available to passing visitors in return for donations..
