“It is even more surprising that it’s still the highest-resolution photographic process ever invented. You can see it in the images. The stresses of working on a lifeboat—the wind and the waves and the salt and the cold—can be seen in the cracks and marks on the boats and their crew.” — James Fisher

“Photographer Jack Lowe explains how he came to immortalise a famous lifeboat that brought troops home during the Operation Dynamo evacuation in the darkest days of WW2. He feels that it is a story from the past that offers inspiration to us all in our own time of trial by pandemic.” — Iain Ballantyne
