RNLI VR Tour, for Cardboard

Take a look around the RNLI’s latest class of all-weather lifeboat the Shannon

From the upper steering position, to the engine room and jet space below deck, take a look around the RNLI’s new Shannon class of lifeboat, the most agile and manoeuvrable all-weather lifeboat in the fleet using your Google Cardboard headset.

Explore every space in the lifeboat in 360 photo-spheres allowing you to see all the detail as though you’re there in person!
