Wooden Ships Comments on this Ex RNLB Watson Class Lifeboat
Ex RNLB Samuel and Marie Parkhouse built by J. Samuel White & Co. Ltd of Cowes in 1938.
Now called Oniros, she is a 46’ Watson Class Life boat, Official No. 805.
The boat saw active service as the Salcombe lifeboat from 1938 – 1962. This lifeboat alters from others of her class to make her more suitable for local conditions. The bar across the entrance of Salcombe harbour can break in heavy seas, so her draft is less than normal and her stern post and rudder assembly strengthened. The turtle back deck structures were designed to shed water from the decks when pushing out through the entrance of the harbour in heavy weather.
Her first active service came on 7th December 1939 when she saved 62 people after the Dutch passenger liner was hit with a torpedo from a German U-boat. In all she launched 126 times in her years of service.
Bought by the current owners in 2009, her external appearance has been returned largely to original, with her funnel, open backed helm position and many custom bronze fittings. The interior has been converted as far as possible to give a forward cabin with 4 berths and a heads. The galley area is located under the shelter in the cockpit.
This is a lifeboat rich with history and stories, a fine solid vessel that has been returned as far as possible to her original external layout and although not a luxury cruising motor yacht, she is a living part of our maritime history.
