People of the lifeboats

The crew of the Ryder
Above: Crew members from the Looe Lifeboat Station.

One hundred and forty-five men whose names we know served on board the Looe lifeboats between 1866 and 1930. Countless other unnamed men and women also contributed in some way to the lifeboat service.

The Lifeboat Men

Note: the names of those who served on the lifeboats are taken from the Returns of Service for particular rescues includes a list of the lifeboat crew involved. However, spellings can be erratic and often an initial is used rather than a first name. The individuals on the lists here have been identified using census data, but there may be some inaccuracies and many crewmen have yet to be identified.
