These four have been charming our visitors that have come
on board since they joined us in September 2020.
From being in the presence of HRH Duke of Kent at our service of rededication in 2022, the flotilla of historic lifeboats in 2024, greeting guests that came aboard us at the Southampton Boat show and clocking up hundreds of miles as we’ve travelled around the coast.
Time for them to enjoy some May bank holiday sunshine as we steam back to the Basin@top fansNational Historic Ships UKRNLIGuernsey

Hard to believe but poignant also, it’s 52 years ago to this very day that HRH Duchess of Kent named this famous lifeboat in Guernsey. And she’s still going strong and gathering a steady following. With your help trusty FB followers
,let’s increase our followers by 52 more (at least) by the end of the BH weekend please.
Tell your friends about this incredible boats history!
New activity coming soon - especially if you’re an Escape Room fanatic.
Keep an eye out for our posts.

mark 52 years since the Sir William Arnold was named by HRH Duchess of Kent in Guernsey.

Looking for something to do with the little ones tomorrow?
Stormy Stan’s Lifeboat Easter Egg Hunt!
Find the hidden eggs in the various shops in Maldon High Street.
Gold, Silver & Bronze eggs.
Entry forms from Maldon Library, Maldon visitor centre and outside All Saints Church from 10-3 tomorrow.
Good luck🤞

This coming Easter weekend, something different for the younger lifeboat supporter, an Easter Egg Hunt with a difference! Locate the Gold, Silver and Bronze eggs hidden in the windows of 22 Maldon shops and learn about rescues that led to the respective medals being awarded by the RNLI
Stormy Stan will be in Maldon High street on Saturday 4th April with maybe the odd chocolate egg to give away to our young supporters.
