MV Snowdrop in her "Razzle Dazzle" livery, based on the WW1 "Dazzle" camouflage, applied in 2015. {not a particularly good image} The song lyric "Sailing across the Mersey" comes to mind ...

Established in 1803, Arbroath is one of the oldest lifeboat stations in Scotland and the last Scottish station with a slipway. When launching the boat is heading for another harbour wall, so the cox'n needs to be concentrating. The station is currently home to a Mersey class all-weather lifeboat and a D class inshore lifeboat.

Mersey class lifeboat, the Robert Charles Brown (12-23) Seen here moored just off the lifeboat station as the boathouse is being rebuilt. This was one of the few slipway launched Mersey class lifeboats. On service: July 1992 to April 2016 when replaced by a Shannon class boat, the George Thomas Lacy (13-13) On service: April 2016 to present

Having succesfully launched, the ALB joins D686 and "William Riley" in the outer harbour at Seahouses. All three vessels will shortly proceed to sea.
