Like in the old days

Today a demonstration:
Launching the lifeboat as it has been done in the two last centuries.
The trailer is towed over the dunes and the beach by a lot of Frisian horses until the water. Two horses at each side pull the trailer into the sea.  After that it's launched.
Imagine this had to be done in severe weather, storm,rain, snow when they went out to the rescue.
In the extra: how it's done nowadays.... a Caterpillar and a waterjet driven lifeboat.
In the back of the extra: the trailer had to be pulled over those dunes...
