he greatest act of courage
On 19 December 1981, the crew of the Penlee lifeboat Solomon Browne were lost attempting to rescue the crew and passengers onboard a stricken coaster the Union Star. The wind was hurricane force gusting at over 90 knots.
Coxswain Trevelyan Richards was posthumously awarded the RNLI’s Gold Medal for Gallantry and the rest of the crew were awarded Bronze Medals. The names of the eight Penlee crew members who valiantly fought to save those onboard the Union Star are inscribed on the RNLI Memorial in Poole.
Lieutenant Commander Russell Smith, the pilot of the Sea King helicopter, recounted: ‘The greatest act of courage that I have ever seen, and am ever likely to see, was the penultimate courage and dedication shown by the Penlee [crew]. ‘They were truly the bravest eight men I've ever seen, who were also totally dedicated to upholding the highest standards of the RNLI.
Mousehole’s famous Christmas Lights will be dimmed between 8 and 9pm in memory of the 16 people who lost their lives.
