Visiting Vessels
For the 2012 Maritime Festival we are pleased to welcome back the Samarbeta operated by RNLI Gorleston. The Samarbeta is a Trent Class lifeboat designed to lie afloat either at deep water moorings or at berth.
The commanding Customs Cutter HMCC Vigilant is set to make another authoritative entry into port. She normally patrols and protects the UK coastline 24 hours a day all year round, so it is great that she will be able to be present at this year's Maritime Festival.
The MTB102, which saw active service in the Second World War from 1939-1940 will also be on show. Motor Torpedo Boats were designed to be able to mount a quick response to threats from any other seagoing vessel be it warship or submarine. The MTB102 starred alongside Michael Caine in the 1976 film, 'The Eagle has Landed'.
