Memories of Boulmer I was very interested to read about the National Collection of lifeboats at Chatham in the Summer issue and it reminded me of an event I witnessed in 1954.

It was the launching of the new Boulmer (Northumberland) lifeboat and as a small boy of 11 years, I had great pleasure attending the event and taking some photographs which I enclose and may be of interest to some readers.
