Crews from Barry Dock RNLI arrived at Whitmore Bay with a brand-new Shannon Class lifeboat on Sunday, March 17.
The new Shannon class lifeboat arrived in Barry from Poole with crew volunteers that travelled down the south coast to bring it back to Barry.
The crew arrived off Whitmore Bay at 11.30am and carried out a short demonstration.
