Searching off Tater Dhu in 1981.
This was how the story broke on BBC news at the time.
A few days before the Union Star ran aground, another ship the Bonita began to list in hurricane force winds 30 mles south east of Brixham. This video, just released from the RNLI tells the story of that little known rescue in which 29 crew, including the skipper's wife and two year old child, were taken off a ship in extreme conditions by the Gurnsey lifeboat, Sir William Arnold.
Today, more than ever, the RNLI needs the support of those who value their work in preserving the lives of those who go down to the sea.
Tribute to the Solomon Browne and crew from Russel Holland.
