LIFEBOAT AT THE END OF THE WORLD WITH DOMINIC GREGORY

The Margate Bookshop

RNLI volunteer Dominic Gregory discusses his new book Lifeboat at the End of the World, a tribute to the Dungeness lifeboat and her crew

Fort Road Hotel

Dominic Gregory's Lifeboat at the End of the World is a raw and gripping first-hand account of what it's like to volunteer aboard an RNLI vessel, and what it takes to train, to trust and to work as a team to save lives at sea. Dominic helps to man the Dungeness lifeboat, which for two hundred years has launched to the aid of frigates and barques, trawlers and dinghies, and which now finds itself at the heart of a humanitarian crisis as ever more migrants make the desperate passage across the channel. In the book he pays homage to Stuart 'Steady' Adams and a host of other 'remarkable yet ordinary' volunteers – the shore and boat crews, tea-makers and record-keepers – who give their time and risk their safety, and to Dungeness itself, a unique natural landscape with a strong local community.Dominic will be discussing Lifeboat at the End of the World, his first book, with Margate-based artist, curator and author Dan Thompson.
