LONG WAY FROM HOME
In Manchester
By Mick Cutler
I found this picture on the Ships Nostalgia website in the public gallery (free to download and reproduce here).
It is the old Newhaven Lifeboat Kathleen Mary pictured here on the Manchester Ship Canal.
The Kathleen Mary was stationed at Newhaven between 1959 to 1977, during her time here on-station she was launched 245 times and saved 123 lives.
