#solomon browne

[sjhowitt]

There are pictures on the surface that look ordinary, or even boring, but when you know are devastating. 44 years ago today the Solomon Browne left Penlee Lifeboat station in a storm to rescue the crew of the Union Star, they never returned, all hands were lost.

The station was left as a memorial to those lost, and these are pictures from inside that station, the equipment never again used, waiting for the boat that never came home.

Never forgotten.
