Hail ... to the new 52ft Arun class lifeboat, City of Belfast (above), recently stationed at Donaghadee, County Down. So far, some £173,000 of the £390,000 it cost to build her has been defrayed by a special appeal launched by the Lord Mayor of Belfast and the Chairman of Belfast Harbour Commissioners to every man, woman and child in Northern Ireland. City of Belfast is the 33rd Arun class to enter the RNLI's fleet and there are three more currently under construction.
