Description: | This is a model of a South Shields lifeboat. This is a particular type of lifeboat, based on the first self-righting lifeboat which was placed at South Shields in 1789. The boat is rather flat-bottomed and therefore able to navigate in shallow waters. It was designed to be propelled by twelve rowers, six on each side. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East emergency services | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
