Скачать или смотреть David Carroll - Dauntless Courage: The History of the RNLI Lifeboats and crews of Dunmore East

DBOGA member David Carro and author of Dauntless Courage was brought up in Dunmore East, where his father Captain Desmond Carroll was the Harbour Master from 1947 until 1969.

David’s passion for lifeboats stems from that time. His father operated the shore radio transmitter, located in the old pilot station on Shannon, whenever the Annie Blanche Smith lifeboat put to sea. His mother, Freda, always volunteered with a collection box for the RNLI on Regatta Day and made sure that the support of all visiting yachts to the harbour was called upon.

Now living in Dublin, David has not forgotten his roots and has retained a deep interest in the maritime life of Dunmore East. In 2020 Dauntless Courage was published as a fundraising project for the RNLI. Sales of this book have generated over €31,000 for the RNLI to date.
