Launch of the Worthing Lifeboat Emerging from the Boathouse

Worthing Station sits inland from the shore, and in wreck emergencies the lifeboat is hauled to the scene on a massive wagon drawn by eight horses. The image captures the lifeboat answering the alarm, with the eight-horse team surging from the station in a gallop as the crew members sprint beside the boat. This negative is unusually superb photographically.
