Women of the RNLI

To mark the bicentenary of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), the National Maritime Museum has launched a new exhibition.

Women of the RNLI celebrates the vital role that women have played in saving lives at sea, highlighting the work and success of women in a variety of roles throughout the RNLI’s 200-year history.

The exhibition will showcase 42 photographs by Jack Lowe, recently acquired by Royal Museums Greenwich. The portraits of women that volunteer for the RNLI will be displayed alongside their lifeboat station’s corresponding slipway, putting the landscape that these women operate in at the heart of their stories.

Alongside the portraits, the exhibition will include recorded oral histories from some of the sitters featured who share their experiences of life with the RNLI.

Dates: Showing until 1 December 2024
