As part of Manx Radio's special series of programmes to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, in The Archive Room this week we explore the life of Sir William Hillary, a Yorkshireman who came to live in the Isle of Man, and having seen at first hand the significant and regular loss of life through shipwrecks, was determined to establish a service dedicated to saving lives at sea.
In a conversation recorded 40 years ago, keen sailor Ian Cottier talks with author and Editor of the Isle of Man Times, Robert Kelly, who researched the life of Sir William Hillary for his book entitled "For Those In Peril"
There's also a 'first play' of an extract from a brand new sea shanty written and performed by local singers 'Mine's A Shanty' which tells the story of the RNLI from its birth to the present day
