The lifeboat service / Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

"The Royal National Lifeboat Institution runs 200 lifeboat stations in Great Britain and Ireland, manned almost entirely by volunteers who rescue well over 1,000 people every year. The lifeboat service with a fleet of some 350 boats, costs millions of pounds to run, and depends entirely on voluntary contributions. The RNLI is the oldest lifeboat service in the world and its story is one of bravery, dedication and sacrifice."--Provided by the publisher.
