Holyhead and its old Lifeboat station slipway.

Holyhead and its old Lifeboat station slipway.
Seaweed now covers what at one time must have been shiny runners for the keel of a lifeboat. The station is now housed a few hundred metres from here. Behind me now in the same old buildings (renovated) is the Maritime Museum and the 'Harbourfront Bistro'.

An interesting insight into the past.. I wonder how many times the old lifeboat turned out back then...plunging into the unknown.. just as dedicated and courageous as today's men but without the safety equipment and technology.. a good view and scene.. Herb'... Cheers from Dj.

Good to see you again David. Yes, trip over now but lots of great snaps (I think) to spend the long Winter editing. I have now put a link to some history of this place, in the description box. Of course you are so right about these men who risk their lives for others here. Glad you like the pic.

The masses of seaweed show how long this hasn't been in use! A very well composed shot.

You are right Rosa. Holyhead lifeboat station has a very proud history and is still going strong just up the road. Glad you liked this piece of history though.

Ha ha, Marie, I was speaking in jest to my dear Ipernity friend here Leopold. I have never even smoked a cigarette let alone any kind of weed or mind blowing drug. It sounds like Leopold might have had some experience though :)

Thanks for the call, Herb
