Lynmouth Lifeboat, Louisa
A Memory of Padstow.
This boat belonged to a local legend, Tommy Morrissey. I've fond memories of getting up at 5am to go fishing with him during the mid 70's.
In 1982, after Tommy went to the big fishpond upstairs, his boat Girl Maureen was bought by the Lynmouth lifeboat society and restored as a replica of its sistership the Louisa, Lynmouth's famous lifeboat. It's on display in Lynmouth and used when the towns people re-enact the 1899 launching.
