Anstruther Lifeboat Day, 1910
Lady Collectors on Lifeboat Day. July 1910.

They are standing outside the Lifeboat Station at Anstruther Harbour. The boat behind them is the 'James and Mary Walker'.

The third Lifeboat to be stationed at Anstruther on the Firth of Forth, Scotland, the 'James and Mary Walker' arrived in Anstruther on 30 July 1904 on a horse drawn carriage having travelled by rail from London.

'James and Mary Walker' was a Watson type non-self-righting lifeboat. She was 38 ft long by 9 ft 4 inches beam and was fitted with two centreboards and a heavy iron keel, but with no water ballast tanks. She had 2 masts, 2 standing lug sails, and a jib, and was rowed with 12 oars.
