Henry "Shrimp" Thomas Davies BEM (19 February 1914 – 25 June 2002) was a lifeboatman from Cromer on the north coast of Norfolk, England.
[3] At 8.15 am the Cromer lifeboat H F Bailey, crewed by twelve men including Shrimp Davies and coxswain Henry Blogg, was launched to aid the stricken ship.
The five men were hauled back on to the lifeboat but the signalman, Edward "Boy Primo" W. Allen after being in the water for 25 minutes fell unconscious and died a short time later.
The Cromer lifeboat Henry Blogg, so named after Shrimp's uncle, was launched into storm to help a leaking French collier Francois Tixier[6] off Sheringham.
[citation needed] After his retirement, Shrimp continued to run the family deckchair business on Cromer's east beach where he was a familiar and talkative figure.
