BOOK PLATE: Frances Williams founder of the Anglesey Association for the preservation of life from shipwreck.

The photograph is from Ships and Seamen of Anglesey by Aled Eames.

Aled Eames was born at Llandudno in 1921. He served as a seaman aboard H.M.S. Narcissus in WW2. He took a degree in history and was a lecturer in Education at University College of North Wales, Bangor. He is the author of a number of studies in maritime history.

The ‘Anglesey Association for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck’ was established by Frances Williams and her husband the Rev. James Williams, vicar of Llanfairyngnghornwy, after she had witnessed the tragic loss of the Parkgate - Howth sailing packet Alert near the Skerries in 1823. They established a station at Cemlyn in 1828 and the Rev. Williams was a regular volunteer crew member.
