Tillie is the only remaining early wooden Llandudno motor lifeboat. In June 2014, following a public appeal for financial help, Ships' Timbers saved Tillie from being broken up. This is Tillie's unfolding story from lifeboat to fishing vessel, her near destruction in Hartlepool, and current restoration.
