The Picture above shows the Naming and Dedication Ceremony for 'Amy Lea' on 7th May 2004. The Hon. Mrs Audrey Lawson Johnston named the lifeboat after her late mother, Amy Lea Pearl. Both were survivors from the sinking of the Lusitania on 7th May 1915, when Mrs Lawson Johnston was only three months old. The ceremony took place at New Quay on the 89th anniversary of the disaster not long after she had celebrated her 89th birthday.
