826b. Warner, Oliver. THE LIFE-BOAT SERVICE – A History of the Royal National Life-Boat Institution 1824-1974. London. 1974. 321p. DJ. To commemorate the first 150 years of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, distinguished naval historian Oliver Warner was commissioned to write this history. The R.N.L.I. has been responsible for saving nearly 100,000 lives and the author covers all of this and more. In the well illustrated pages, Mr. Warner covers the courage and matchless seamanship, the progress from pulling and sailing boats to the diesel powered boats of today, the daily routine at the more than 200 life-boat stations on the British Isles, and much more. A proud and moving chronicle, with great detail. (VG). $48.
