Hiking
On March 9, 1874, James Brown and his sons were making their way back to Cresswell after a fishing excursion. With land in view, a severe squall overturned their coble, tragically claiming the lives of all four fishermen. In response to this devastating incident, a lifeboat house was constructed and inaugurated on August 21, 1875. Operating until its closure in 1944, the lifeboat house saw 58 launches, rescuing a total of 91 lives.
