Launch of the Worthing Lifeboat Emerging from the Boathouse (1898)

Launch of the Worthing Lifeboat Emerging from the Boathouse

"The Worthing Station is some distance from the shore, and whenever there is a wreck the life-boat is dragged to the scene on a huge truck drawn by eight horses. Our picture shows the life-boat responding to an alarm. The horses start out from the station at a gallop, and the members of the crew run beside the boat. This negative is unusually fine photographically."
