Help us to raise £5000 fortheRNLI The Grace Darling Mug Honouring one and a half centuries of heroism at sea.

Now a legend forever - Grace Darling faced a wild and furious sea to save the lives of nine survivors from the shipwrecked SS Forfarshire on Big H.n i ,i i off the Northumberland coast.

1988 marked the 150th Anniversary of that fearless act of courage, made by the 22 year old lighthouse keeper's daughter and her father from the Longstone lighthouse in 1838.

This act of bravery made Grace Darling a heroine throughout the world - her memory still stands as a timeless monument to human courage.

The RNLI will benefit from the sale of EVERY PIECE! Peter Jones China, who have exclusively commissioned this mug will send the RNLI a contribution of £2.00 from the sale of every Grace Darling mug illustrated here. When we sell 2,500 mugs it will raise £5.000 for the RNLI.

A fitting tribute These contributions could go towards a new lifeboat probably to be named 'Grace Darling' and which will see active service from North Sunderland in Northumberland.

Each and every contribution will therefore help todays lifeboatmen in their pursuit of saving others from the sea. Please remember - The Lifeboat Service is supported wholly by voluntary contributions.
