St.Davids Lifeboat, South Wales returns and is hauled up the ramp.
I was fortunate to be there with video camera to hand, as the RNLI Lifeboat based at St.Davids in Pembrokeshire, South Wales arrived back to harbour from a training trip out at sea. The boat demonstrates its remarkable manoeuvering ability as it turns right round within its own length at the bottom of the launch ramp. The boat is then hoisted up the ramp, ready for any emergency call out. The radio mast is lowered as the boat ascends the ramp.
The lifeboat station is in the harbour of the tiny settlement of St.Justinian, a short distance from the beautiful, tiny city of St.Davids. The large island to be seen in the background is Ramsey Island, almost entirely a RSPB bird sanctuary. Videoed on 9th May, 2017.
Boat trip to Ramsey Island from St Justinian’s Lifeboat Station, Wales, United Kingdom
You can take a boat trip to Ramsey Island from St Justinian’s Lifeboat Station.
This boat trip would be my first recommendation in case if you have very limited time to spent in Wales.
This trip will help you to get some stunning views of the sea / caves/ seals / Sea Birds and so on.

St Davids or St David's is a city, parish and community in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Lying on the River Alun on St Davids Peninsula, St Davids is Britain's smallest city in terms of both size and population the final resting place of Saint David, Wales's patron saint, and the de facto ecclesiastical capital of Wales. St Davids was given city status in the 16th century because of St David's Cathedral. City status was lost in 1888 but restored in 1994, at the request of Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1991 St Davids town council proposed that a case for city status, which the residents had long considered it to have anyway, should be promoted in connection with the 40th anniversary of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, and in 1992 the Home Office agreed to refer the matter to Buckingham Palace. In 1994, at the request of the Queen, St Davids was again granted city status along with the Northern Irish town of Armagh, In recognition of their important Christian heritage and their status as cities in the last century. The letters patent conferring city status were formally presented by the Queen in a ceremony at St David's Cathedral on 1 June 1995.
Next to the St Davids cathedral, the 13th-century Bishop's Palace is a ruin maintained by Cadw and open to visitors. St Davids was once a marcher borough, within which lay the hundred of Dewisland. In 1603, the antiquarian George Owen described it as one of five Pembrokeshire boroughs overseen by a portreeve. Saint Non's Well overlooks the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and St Brides Bay.
In addition to the cathedral, notable features of the city include the 14th-century Tower Gate, the Celtic Old Cross and a number of art galleries. St Davids is also a base for walking and water sports. It has several hotels, a pharmacy, shops and galleries, a youth hostel and a number of pubs. The entire coastline around St Davids forms part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
St Davids Lifeboat Station, at St Justinian, has saved an estimated 360 people since the first lifeboat was located there in 1869; four lifeboatmen have died while saving others. The Irish Sea area includes a large number of offshore rocks and islands and is notorious for strong tides.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, lifeboat crews around the UK and Ireland are ready to launch to help those in need. Whether you're stuck on a sinking ship, cut off by a rapidly rising tide, or in the water and close to drowning, RNLI crew members will drop everything to come to your rescue. 95% of RNLI lifeboat crews and station staff are volunteers.
But it’s not just lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards patrol 248 beaches across the UK and Channel Islands, keeping people safe, providing safety advice and rescuing those in trouble. Education volunteers visit schools and swimming clubs to help teach the next generation how to enjoy the water safely. And volunteer fundraisers and shop workers give up their time to generate vital funds. The RNLI is also working to help communities around the world that are most at risk of drowning.
If you spot someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.

Me launching the Selsey Lifeboat
Caerfai Bay to St Justinians
A walk near St Davids in Pembrokeshire - Caerfai Bay to St Justinians on a wet day, 20 March 2011.
Americans Discover St Davids Lifeboat Pt 1
As the beginning was cut off this film I do not know the title however here are a few things I have noted. The film concerns an American couple Julius and Joan Evans from California and their visit to St Davids in Wales. Julius Evans is listed on the net as a writer/producer/actor b. 1907. d.1981.
As well as various shots around the town the film includes interviews with coxswain at the time Dai Lewis, retired Coxswain Watts Williams and Hon sec. Dr J Soar.
In 1943 Bronze Medals were awarded to Honorary Secretary Dr Joseph Soar and Crew Member Gwilym Davies for rescuing a man trapped on the cliffs near Llanunwas on 28 February. In 1963 a second Watson class lifeboat was stationed at St Davids. The RNLB Joseph Soar (ON 971) was donated by the Civil Service Lifeboat Fund (No 34) and named after the long-serving St Davids station Honorary Secretary. She cost some £40,000. The RNLB Joseph Soar was a 47 Watson class wooden hulled lifeboat with wheelhouse and forward and aft cabins. She was powered by twin Gardener diesel engines at a top speed of about 8 knots with a range of 300 nautical miles. The lifeboat launched on 99 occasions and saved 45 lives
In 1955 a Silver Medal was awarded to Coxswain William Watts Williams, for rescuing 35 people from the tanker World Concord, which broke in two during exceptional storms on 27 November 1954.
1956 A Bronze Medal was awarded to Coxswain Dai Lewis for rescuing eight crew from the French trawler Notre Dame de Fatima.
At one point one of the interviewees refers to a crew member who was lost during a service. I suspect this was Ieuan Bateman who was lost in 1956 so the film must be late 1950s or very early 1960s.
Shots are also seen of second coxswain at the time William Morris. In 1978 a Bronze Medal was awarded to Coxswain William Morris for rescuing seven crew and saving the Royal Naval tender MFV 7. William died on the 12th November 2009 aged 89 years.
