Women of the RNLI at the National Maritime Museum

To mark the bicentenary of the RNLI, Royal Museums Greenwich will host an exhibition celebrating the vital role that women have played in saving lives at sea.

Women of the RNLI will highlight the work and success of women in a variety of roles including their pioneering contributions to fundraising, campaigning, technological innovation, training and as members of onshore and offshore crew throughout the RNLI’s history.

The exhibition will feature a series of Jack Lowe photographs taken from Lowe’s ongoing Lifeboat Station Project, an attempt to photograph every RNLI station and members of its crew.

Alongside these images, the exhibition will include oral histories from some of the sitters, sharing their experiences of life with the RNLI.

This event is free and is suitable for all ages.
