I took this photograph at Salford Quays on 27 September 2014.
It's the former 47ft Watson Class RNLI Lifeboat 'Kathleen Mary', now renamed 'Katie May'. She was built in 1959 and served at Newhaven from 1959 to 1977, Porthdinllaen from 1979 to 1987, Appledore from 1987 to 1988 and then in the Reserve fleet at Penlee till 1989 when she was sold and renamed 'Katie May'.
