Remembering the brave crew
2016 marks the 100th year since the disaster occurred, and so Salcombe RNLI prepared a number of commemorations to honour the victims.
Thursday 27 October 2016 brought the community of Salcombe together in a day of remembrance, including a Service of Commemoration, Wreath laying at sea, and a 13-gun salute.
Two large Memorial Stones have been placed on the coastal path either side of the estuary, overlooking the scene of the disaster.
Holy Trinity Church, Salcombe marked the centenary by creating a lasting Lifeboat corner, including a plaque naming the victims.
The headstones on the graves in Shadycombe cemetery have also been restored and marked.
