Calm before the Storm: The Art of Photographing Lifeboats
Exhibition at Poole Museum
This project presents a remarkable collection of images from the archive of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). For generations, the Beken family in Cowes has photographed maritime activity in the area, creating a significant visual record of Isle of Wight industry and RNLI lifeboats.
Also on display at Poole Museum will be photographs made by Jack Lowe as part of The Lifeboat Station Project.
As part of the 2-day Reconnections Conference, in conjunction with Liverpool City Council, MHT organised the second day – aimed at those involved or interested in heritage projects. The emphasis was on learning from the experience of successful projects how to achieve that one essential - sustainability.

As a follow up to the Reconnections Conference held in Oct 2015, the goal of this seminar is to develop a co-operation network of north west heritage projects who can support each other through new approaches in areas such as communications/social media, fundraising, project management and joint events.
