Hewitt Clark: 319 Lives Saved at Sea Off the Coast of Britain | Pride Of Britain 2024

Since the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was founded exactly 200 years ago, its brave volunteers have saved more than 146,000 lives off the coast of Britain. Hewitt Clark has been instrumental in saving 319 of those lives across 423 rescues in 35 years. He became a volunteer crewman at Lerwick RNLI in 1965, aged 20, before becoming a full-time motor mechanic the following year, then coxswain in 1979. During that time, he was awarded three bronze medals, one silver and a gold, the only one awarded in the last 45 years, for his courage.
