More about this scene
The schooner anchored here, awaiting high tide to allow it to enter the canal, is the 'President Garfield'. The lifeboat is the third one to be stationed at Bude, the 'Elizabeth Moore Garden 2'. Launching at low tide was achieved by towing the boat over the sand with a team of horses; the launch took place stern first to protect the rudder in the surf.
