If ever there was an example of the sea at its worst and humanity at its best, then it is the story of the loss of the Penlee Lifeboat” Peter Goss MBE, Sailor and Adventurer
40 years later, their bravery lives on.
On Saturday 19 December 1981, the Penlee lifeboat ‘Solomon Browne’, was launched in hurricane conditions to go to the aid of the coaster ‘Union Star’ which was being swept towards the southern coast of Cornwall. What followed ranks not only with the greatest acts of courage in the history of the RNLI, but with any human achievement.
Marking 40 years since the rescue, Into the Night is a unique theatrical experience broadcast live on Saturday 18 December 2021 and on-demand until the 30th of January.
