A Fine boat, tragic tale, and new lifeboat

Bright Ray slides smoothly into Eyemouth Harbour fresh from the fishing grounds and she unloaded a fine catch.
This small Scottish fishing port has paid the cost and more for it's harvest from the sea, as the second image  outside the Museum depicts 
Here's a link  to the story The 1881 Great Storm
189 men had perished, 129 of them from Eyemouth alone. The deadly storm had left 93 women as widows and 267 children without their fathers.
Eyemouth was a town in despair, the bulk of its working male population gone at a stroke. Two days after the disaster, a shaft of light arrived in the form of the Ariel Gazelle, a fishing boat thought lost that limped into harbour with all its crew. Instead of trying to head back to port it had struck out to sea and managed to ride out the storm.
The third picture is of the new Independent inshore lifeboat at St Abbs,  After jokingly telling me I had a cheek showing my face on the Harbour wearing an RNLI hat, after they had closed down the lifeboat, they kindly showed me their new boat, provided through great efforts of the locals to raise the money and the Famous Tunnock's Biscuit company of Scotland, and even let me climb aboard , a great honour to board a boat where only heroes will tread.
My goodness! what a fabulous boat with its two 200BHP Mercury Optimax Outboard, the old coxswain told me it can reach 46kts!
Well done all, and they have been out on two "shouts" already to rescue sailors (and those who imagine they are) in Distress.
There is no covered accomodation on this boat, and at maximum speed in even a light "chop" this will be a thrilling ride!
Oh, how I wish I was a young man doing that!
