Alderney RNLI Lifeboat Station |
Alderney Lifeboat Station is located at Braye Harbour, on the island of Alderney, the northernmost of the inhabited Channel Islands. It is part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, a British Crown dependency.
A lifeboat was first stationed at St Anne on Alderney by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1869, but was closed in 1884. The station was re-established 100 years later at Braye harbour in 1984.[1]
The station currently operates an Trent-class All-weather lifeboat, 14-29 Inner Wheel II (ON 1245), on station since 2024.[2]
