With treacherous tides in Morecambe Bay it’s imperitive that Fleetwood has it’s own lifeboat service and has operated, except for a brief period in the 1930’s, since 1859. Several lifeboats have been in service over the years, each time being replaced with an upgraded vessel with better technology and features vital to the crew’s life-saving work.
Some of the photos date back to the very early days, with others, such as Lifeboat Day and the sailpasts from the more recent past.
