Thanks to the generosity of Roger Barrett of Salcombe Maritime Museum, there are now five books available to download from the website. These titles describe Salcombe as a schooner port, explain the U-boat War off the South Devon coast from 1915 to 1918, recount life in Salcombe during the two world wars and finally narrate the tragic events which led to the loss of the Salcombe lifeboat in 1916. Find the books here.
Looking forward to seeing you at our 2018 Christmas Meeting.
