The restored lifeboat, with some of the trust and volunteers responsible aboard, about to berth at the pontoon. The North Dock has recently been restored as well; transformed from a coal shipping port into a marina for fishing and pleasure craft.

"George Elmy" leads the way into the North Dock - as she passed the gates there was an almighty clap of thunder, despite the pouring rain earlier, the only rumble all day. A comment, perhaps?

Touching the stern onto the slipway, symbolically finishing the service interrupted by the fatal capsize in 1962. A wreath had been laid a few minutes earlier at the harbour bar. I wasn't the only one crying at this point.

"Betty Huntbatch" and "Spirit Of Northumberland" leave Seaham North Dock after escorting the "George Elmy" back to her berth after her restoration. There was a short re-dedication / blessing from the skypilot (chaplin) and the band played the lifeboat hymn "Eternal Father" and quite a lot of other tunes.

Visit to the "George Elmy" in the early stages of restoration at Seaham, Co. Durham. (March 2010) We have been involved, but mainly in an advisory capacity about such things as fundraising, and a few other more solid items.
