A new exhibition exploring the Isle of Man’s remarkable maritime heritage and honouring the 200th anniversary of the RNLI opened recently at the House of Manannan in Peel. ‘All at Sea’ uncovers some of the tragic events in Manx waters which motivated Manx resident, Sir William Hillary to establish a national maritime lifesaving institution. On Perspective this week we talk to the people behind the exhibition and consider the vital role that Hillary played in saving lives at sea. The story of the RNLI is undoubtedly a source of great pride for the Manx people.
