The Tides That Tie – The Arranmore Lifeboat

For more than a century, the lifeboat crew on Arranmore have answered the call when someone is in danger at sea.

In this episode of The Tides That Tie, we hear from Nora Flanagan, Ciaran O’Donnell, and John McCafferty about the history and mission of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution station on Arranmore.

From early lifeboats powered by oars and sails to today’s modern rescue vessel, the story of the RNLI is one of volunteers, community support, and generations of islanders committed to saving lives along the rugged Donegal coast.

Their message is simple: when the pager goes off, they go.
