Readers may be interested in this postcard photograph of Douglas lifeboat. It is one of several that came into the possession of my wife, Manx by birth, from her immediate family.

Although the lifeboat pictures are not dated, others in the collection are inscribed '1924'. Since the photographs would appear to date from the same era I would suggest that the enclosed ones are from the 1920s.

We look forward to receiving our copy of The Lifeboat and always look out for any news from the Isle of Man.
