Can you help us to identify the boats featured on this page?
My hunch is that the first photo was taken in wartime. Could it be the Louise Stephens, which served as the RNLI's Gorleston lifeboat between 1939 and 1967?
As for the second photo, what an atmospheric scene of dark skies and Scottish herring drifters, taken from a boat (a lifeboat?) making for the mouth of the river one early autumn morning?!
