The English Trader: Cromer鈥檚 most famous rescue
Henry Blogg is Norfolk's most celebrated lifeboatman. This was his most famous rescue.
In the long 200 year history of the RNLI, perhaps the most celebrated lifeboatman of all is Norfolk鈥檚 very own Henry Blogg.
He served on the Cromer lifeboat for an astonishing 53 years from 1894 until 1947.
The most famous rescue in which he took part was that of the crew of the English Trader in October 1941.
Paul Hayes has been through the archives to discover what happened.
