In 1899 the Lynton/Lynmouth lifeboat was dragged and carried across land to Porlock, to enable the crew to launch it in terrible weather to go to the aid of the Forrest Hall - see an article on the rescue here:
The story of this is well documented, but I am seeking information on the lifeboat, which I believe was paid for by a Revd Wheeler, and named after a daughter who had died, but am struggling to find evidence to support this! I would really welcome help with this
