Drawing, watercolour, pencil and pen and ink (brown) on paper (on acid-free paper), entitled 'Launching the Lifeboat', by the artist Luke Clennell. S group of South Shields pilots launch a lifeboat. The boat is launching into the heavy surf with crew members scrambling aboard; one vigorously poles the boat off the beach and another carries oars out of the boathouse. Behind them is a stone boathouse building and other figures are in the building and on the shore. Two lookouts with a telescope are at the top of a ladder attached to the boathouse building. A ship is visible in the distance. Sea and sky are stormy
