SH3793 : Charles Henry Ashley lifeboat

taken 8 years ago, near to Cemaes, Isle of Anglesey/Sir Ynys Mon, Wales

Charles Henry Ashley lifeboat
Charles Henry Ashley lifeboat
A 38ft Watson designed lifeboat built in 1907 and stationed at the nearby ‘Porth yr Ogof’ lifeboat station by Wylfa Head until she was taken out of service in 1932.
After several years in private ownership, she was re-launched after total renovation in April 2009.
The boat is not fitted with an engine, so faithfully reproduces the authentic practice of the early 20th century, being propelled from the harbour under oars and then hoisting her sails in open water.
