S3: Episode 4 - Heroes on the Mersey
Manage episode 348014017 series 2912534
The Mersey River makes the brilliant city of Liverpool, but who was there when the tide quite literally got too high? A hero by any standard, James Clarke saved many locals from drowning in the Mersey in the early 1900s and taught countless others to swim. And, fast forward to 2022, we meet current day heroes through the LifeBoat Station Project, Jack Lowe's ten year mission to photograph all of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution’s 238 lifeboat stations across the UK and Ireland (including Hoylake, West Kirkby and New Brighton). What drives these people to put their own lives at danger to save strangers at sea?
