Old Photograph Lifeboat Girvan Scotland

Old photograph of launching the lifeboat from the beach by Girvan in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The first lifeboat was the Earl of Carrick built at a cost of £300 and was launched by carriage which could if necessary be transported by road to a launching site nearer to the emergency. In 1910 the lifeboat station was moved and rebuilt on a new site. In 1931 the first motor lifeboat Lily Glen Glasgow arrived and was kept at moorings in the harbour.
