Helicopter training with the RNLI

Throughout our 200 years of lifesaving a lot has changed, including our lifeboats. From the rowing and sailing lifeboats of our early days, to the modern RNLI fleet today, take a look at how far we’ve come since our founding in 1824. Our lifeboats have come a long way in the past 200 years. But they are still designed, made and launched to save lives.
