On Monday 4 March, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) celebrated 200 years since its formation.
In partnership with the RNLI, The Historic Dockyard Chatham have launched a commemorative five-month exhibition for the charity’s 200th anniversary year. The exhibition has officially been opened by the Chairman of Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust, Admiral Sir Trevor Soar KCB OBE DL and Chair of the RNLI, Janet Legrand OBE KC (Hon) during a special reception evening on Thursday 21 March.
RNLI 200: The Exhibition tells the exhilarating story of the history of the lifesaving charity and the stories of the people who have risked their lives to save others, come rain or shine, storm or hurricane.
The exhibition is one-of-a-kind and the first time that such a large collection of stories and RNLI artefacts have been brought together in one space.
It celebrates the lives and heroism of the crews and people involved in the organisation over its 200 year.
Already home to the RNLI Historic Lifeboat Collection, The Historic Dockyard Chatham is the perfect venue to showcase the thrilling story of the RNLI.
Included with standard Dockyard ticket.
