I read with great interest, in the Autumn 1997 issue of The Lifeboat the letter from Gareth Pryce respecting the ex-lifeboat The Three Sisters. A Liverpool class craft, late of Coverack, Cornwall, which he had seen at Rhos-on-sea, North Wales now carrying the name Silent Waters.

Whilst visiting Porthmadog last year, also in North Wales I observed another ex-lifeboat, lying on the harbour slipway, and this craft was also carrying the name The Three Sisters. On the cabin side was a brass plate indicating that this was a former lifeboat.

Unfortunately my visit was brief and I was unable to locate the present owner or to obtain any further information.

I enclose a photograph of this craft, which has the appearance, I think, of being an old Solent class lifeboat. It is a coincidence that both these boats were called The Three Sisters, and are you able to add any more details? David E Herriott, Govenor and Comittee Member Solihull..
