Port Isaac has a D Class, launched by quad.
As you can see from one of the shots there is not a lot of water in the harbour at low tide, quite a long tow to launch. The harbour is used as a car park at low water!
The old lifeboat house at Port Isaac was actually about a quarter of a mile from the harbour midway up a very narrow street. Apparently the boat was manhandled down the street on a carriage. Must have been fun.
Thanks Mike for these words and pictures.
If anyone out there reading this (lifeboat tourists, crew, Headquarters staff or full time employees such as station mechanics also has lifeboat photos (Uk or international) which they would like to share on here, please email them to me at lifeboat365@gmail.com They are more likely to be included if they are accompanied by some interesting words!
