30 years on, 35 volunteers are attached to the Galway Lifeboat station, providing vital services - from the crew who go out to sea, the shore crew and support crew, and other roles such as admin and fundraising.
Last year Galway RNLI launched 23 times, coming to the aid of 17 people.
Mayor Cubbard presented founding member Pat Lavelle and Lifeboat Operations Manager Paul Carey with a framed scroll and Galway Crystal vase
