A life boat which saved the lives of the county down community and beyond for nearly 30 years, is now in need of saving itself.

The RNLI lifeboat Sir Samuel Kelly, now sits forlornly on wooden blocks in the corner of a car park near the marina at Donaghadee. Open to the elements and subjected to mindless vandalism, this once proud vessel is simply rotting away.

The 'Kelly' heroically went to the aid of the stricken ferry, Princess Victoria, during the great storm of 1953, picking up 33 of the ship's 44 survivors.
