Hi Maureen, Looks like it was the New Brighton lifeboat. Sounds like an interesting line for me to investigate.

There was a Lifeboat named 'Norman B. Corlett' after a family member who drowned. Think the boat was based either at Hoylake/West Kirby or Beaumaris Anglesey. May be a reference on the net.
