The stories of six heroic RNLI rescues from the Great War are being told in the Maritime museum's latest exhibition.
Hope in the Great War is a national touring exhibition, produced by the RNLI and funded by Arts Council England, which celebrates timeless courage during the First World War, telling the story of the rescues, with family friendly interactive displays.
Visitors to the museum can see the First World War through the eyes of those living on the coast of the UK and Ireland, while honouring the courage of RNLI rescuers and survivors.
Stories featured in the new exhibition include the rescue of 20 people from the tanker Ponus by lifeboat crew and servicemen on November 3, 1916; the rescue of 144 people from the wrecked hospital ship Rohilla on October 30, 1914, and a lifeboat that went to the assistance of SS Dunvegan but saw three of the lifeboat crew lose their lives on January 1, 1916.
Hope in the Great War will be at The National Maritime Museum, Falmouth from Saturday, October 22 to Sunday, November 13.
