- "It is a family tradition handed down - there's always been women launchers at Dungeness, and I guess when we're finished there'll be more to take our places. At least I hope so."
Nationwide reports on a proud and venerable institution that Betty, Joan, Doris and company have made their own.
Originally broadcast 5 February, 1970.

Great video, love watching this kind of stuff.
Would be interesting if the BBC were to catch up with these ladies and the Dungeness Lifeboat Crew of 2022.
My thoughts exactly
Well one of them is still volunteering
I need to know what the _effects of mineral oil on_ is about, as seen at 02:58 on the "Cautionary Notice". Perhaps they lubed the wooden ties with mineral oil to assist in the launching process?
I love stories of heroic women who defied convention and did what wasn't expected of them, although they probably just thought they were doing what had to be done. Not women's work indeed!
That seems like an easy problem to solve
Men in 1970: It's not women's work.
Women doing the work for nearly a century: ...
They can lay down tracks 900% faster than London's Crossrail project is doing.
🤦🏻♂️
How bizarre !
Why don't they just leave the boat in the water?
yeah i wonder why... these lifeboats are also lauched when theres a ship in distress???
@@christga100 i have no idea..must be using ufo technology back then!!
Erosion. A boat's hull will require lots and lots of maintenance if left in water, which means docking every so often and completely redoing the hull
That and there's nowhere to really leave it in water, it's gonna get bashed around by waves, forced ashore, or stranded when the tide receedes (which it does, heavily)
That’s real Girl Power, real women, not the deluded harpies of today
The lifeboat before it became the illegal immigrant taxi.
