Revision as of 16:15, 15 June 2024
Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) stations are the bases for the RNLI's fleet of search and rescue lifeboats that cover the coastal waters around the entire British Isles, as well as major inland waterways.
The service was established in 1824 as the Royal National Institute for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS), later to become the RNLI in 1854, and is operated largely by volunteers. Its headquarters are at Poole, Dorset and it is a registered charity in both the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.
This is a list of former RNIPLS stations (dates up to 1854) and RNLI stations (dates from 1854), primarily those where the RNLI has ceased operations from that particular location, village or town.
Some RNLI sites, where the station is still in operation, but not necessarily at the original location, will be included in the List of RNLI stations.
Regions
The information is correct with reference to the Lifeboat Enthusiasts Handbook 2024 unless noted otherwise,[1] and is set out like the RNLI's divisional model. As far as possible it follows a clockwise route around the coast.
- North and East Region (North East and East England)
- South East Region (South and South East England)
- South West Region (South West England and the Channel Islands)
- Wales and West Region: (Wales, North West England and the Isle of Man)
- Scotland Region (Scotland)
- Ireland Region (Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland)
