A rainbow arcs over the Alfred Corry Museum at Southwold Harbour in Suffolk


A rainbow arcs over the Alfred Corry Museum at Southwold Harbour in Suffolk. The Alfred Corry was the Southwold No 1 lifeboat and served for 25 years until she left the service in 1918 during which time 47 lives were saved. A permanent exhibition shows the history of the Alfred Corry and the life boat shed in which it is housed. The shed, in itself, makes a tremendous story, having been brought by sea from Cromer in 1998. The building was built in 1923 and is a fine example of a typical lifeboat shed of that era. A charitable trust was set up to care for the boat, initially funded by the sale of the boats yacht fittings but since then has received financial help from many sources
