A design for lifesaving

For decades, brave volunteers launched their Watson class
lifeboats to the rescue. Now the blueprint for a wellloved lifeboat that saved many lives has inspired a new RNLI Shop range. Celebrate our lifeboat heritage in style with Blueprint – a set of homeware featuring the original designs for ON– 971 Joseph Soar (Civil Service No. 34). First stationed in St Davids in 1963, Joseph Soar had a distinguished service history, going on to serve at Dunbar and Shoreham Harbour until 1990. And, although the lifeboat was decommissioned in 1992, its design will continue to help save lives at sea into the future. Blueprint is just one of the RNLI collections available– take a look to see our full range.
