It started with a “something for you” card from the post office in our letter box. On arrival at the post office there was a parcel wrapped in brown paper addressed to Swanage Coastguard.
On opening, an old station log was found dating back to between 1920 and 1940 covering the Studland Bay area which formed part of the former Swanage division in those days.
Inside are details of several rescues in the area during that period which is a fascinating insight into HM Coastguard nearly 100 years ago.
The information is slowly being collated and we hope to bring some of those details in the future.
So to the anonymous sender, thank you we don’t know your connection or where it was located, but it is now safe and helps us piece together our history.
