Following on from yesterday's image , here a statue. again by Ray Lonsdale, of the Coxswain of the Seaham Harbour lifeboat. It commemorates the courage and dedication to duty of all past members of the Seaham Harbour Lifeboat Station, five of whom made the ultimate sacrifice on 17th November 1962. The station operated from 1870 until 1989 with 137 launches and 289 lives saved. The second image shows the full statue.
