The Alfred Corry sails out of the Blyth Estuary, Southwold, in about 1979. Capt. John Cragie and his wife Doreen had bought this famed one-time lifeboat in a derelict state and restored it. Today, thanks to the Cragies it is being restored once more, this time to its original form, as a memorial to those who manned it between 1893 and 1918.
