The Penlee lifeboat disaster occurred on 19 December 1981 off the coast of Cornwall, in England, UK. The Penlee Lifeboat went to the aid of the coaster Union Star after its engines failed in heavy seas. After the lifeboat had managed to rescue four people both vessels were lost with all hands; sixteen people died including eight volunteer lifeboatmen.

@DarkNemesis4300 I am trying to get a copy of this video to show to a group of kids, any ideas on how I can get a download of it as i do not have an internet connection where we meet.

@ci127 I downloaded my own copy from BBC iPlayer, if that helps.

@DarkNemesis4300 When I saw this for the first time it raised the hairs on the back of my neck, and still does. Brave men. Very brave men.

Really well made documentary. Glad you uploaded this as i missed it when it was on in December. I did have it on video from when it was first shown about 5 years ago but lost it. Try and keep this documentary on your profile if you can. Is there any way i can somehow get a copy from you?

The loss of the radio signal from the Solomon Browne at 39:44 is spine chilling. We are listening to the actual moment that these brave men died. Tragic.
