970.356.5000 Lifeboat is the extraordinary true story of Bess Walder abd Beth Cummings. Set in World War II, it is a story of courage, a story of survival and a story of enduring friendship. On Friday, September 13, 1940, a ship, The City of Benares, set sail from Liverpool for Canada. On board were 90 evacuees escaping the relentless bombing and dangers of war torn Britain. Four days into the crossing, the ship was torpedoed and sunk. Only eleven of the evacuees survived. Two fifteen year old girls, Bess Walder and Beth Cumming, spent 19 terrifying hours in the water on an upturned lifeboat. They willed each other to survive. Lifeboat tells their story. This tour of Lifeboat is dedicated to the memory of Bess Walder. Date and Time
