Titanic link to new lifeboat station

A WOMAN whose great aunt was lucky to “jump ship” from the ill-fated Titanic is to open a lifeboat station on the south coast.

It’s the second time that Kinsale RNLI will have been grateful for the generosity of Sally-Anne Odell, known to her friends as Baggy.

In 2003, Ms Odell, who lives in southern England, donated €80,000 to help the RNLI unit purchase an inshore lifeboat.
