520 Considered one of the most treacherous areas of Britain’s
coastline, Land’s End has seen many shipwrecks over the
past 2,000 years. Where the waters of the Atlantic meet
those of the English Channel, storms are frequent and
violent and have caught out many a ship. Thousands have
been dashed against the rocky granite coast. In 1853, the
RNLI established a lifeboat station at nearby Sennen Cove,
and the people of this small Cornish village have been
saving lives ever since. The crews of Sennen have saved
many lives in the past 160 years, helping those in
distress from sailing dinghies to the largest of cargo
ships. Nicholas Leach tells the story of Sennen’s
lifeboats and the volunteer lifeboat crews who have manned
them in this fully revised and updated history of the
lifeboat and wrecks off the tip of Cornwall.
