The SS Suevic and the night the RNLI saved 611 people
Badsey Society member, Galen Bartholomew, will give a talk at Badsey Community Sports & Social Club about how he SS Suevic ran aground in a storm off the Lizard Point in Cornwall in March 1907. The RNLI rescued 456 people in appalling weather conditions. This is still the largest number of people rescued by the RNLI in a single operation. Another ship, the SS Jebba, ran aground off the South Devon coast the same night and the RNLI saved a further 155 lives. Not a single life was lost in either rescue.
