On this day in 1914 during the First World War, one of the biggest RNLI rescues in history took place. Six lifeboats launched to Rohilla, a sinking hospital ship. Incredibly, one of the five nurses saved, Mrs. K. M. Roberts, had also been rescued from the Titanic just two years earlier. One of the letters that she wrote to her husband whilst aboard the Titanic is held in RNLI archives to this day. | RNLI
