Yes there is. I'm racking my brains to remember where I found it. I'll get back to this thread when I find it. Meantime, have you tried the National Maritime Museum?

well this is the lifeboat site http://www.rnli.org.uk/ and this is hastings site http://www.hastings.gov.uk/ both of them probably have records of crews for the period in which you are interested. CB

Lorna, you should use the subject heading here to give people a clue as to what you're looking for - then it might catch somebody's eye. Something like: Lifeboats - Hastings?
