Newcastle Lifeboats 1838-1946 is a new book with a most interesting collection of newspaper articles and pictures about the life of seafaring pioneers in Newcastle NSW. It chronicles various daring sea rescues and events and gives a snapshot of life in colonial Newcastle up to almost present times.
The book has contributions from lifeboat families and descendants about some of the crewmen and other people mentioned in the rescues. This includes private family pictures and family archival material that you won't find elsewhere.
The current edition is to be followed by subsequent books and therefore if you would like your crewman ancestor included in the next edition please contact Tom Wynn at
