Lifeboatmen owe us nothing,they don't often know us, they even understand the mistakes we make on the seas, yet they choose to voluntarily come for us when eveything goes wrong. God bless you all and your families

I remember standing there for a while and just letting the eerie atmosphere wash over me, I knew that something wasn't right. It was not until last night when I watched the documentary that it truly hit home that I had been standing amongst the remaining wreckage of the Union Star. It sent shivers down my spine and watching the footage of those brave men just put everything into perspective.

When I was a child I used to explore the cliffs and inlets around Tater Du lighthouse near to Boscowen point where the disaster happened. I'm 23 and it happened before I was born so I was never really aware as a child that it had happened so close to our house. One day I went out exploring and as the sea was really calm that day I climbed down quite a steep cliff using a steel cable to a hidden inlet to find rusted wreckage scattered amongst the rocks.

No one will ever forget that event who was around at that time, no one ever talks about it in public, it makes you feel sick that it should never have happened....I was working around the Port of Newlyn for days people worked in silence stunned and shocked, hardened Fishermen looked ashen white. thats the only way I can describe it

Rest in peace, brave lads. God Bless. "For those in peril"
