"Ethel Day Cardwell" a 40-foot self-righting motor Lifeboat with 10 foot 6 inches beam fitted with a 40 horsepower petrol engine giving a top speed of 7.5 knots.
Provided by Legacy of J.T.Cardwell.
Cost to build £4,746
Was on service from 1917 - 1924
St Erin opened in 1926, so the Lifeboat must have been transferred then - there is a photograph showing her rescue history @ http://www.flickr.co...990699/sizes/l/
