Hartlepool RNLI Lifeboat Station |
Hartlepool Lifeboat Station is located at Middleton, next to the port town of Hartlepool, on the north-east coast of England, in County Durham.
A lifeboat was first stationed at Hartlepool in 1803 by the Hartlepool Lifeboat Committee. Manangement of the station was transferred to the RNLI in February 1875.[1]
The station currently operates an Trent-class All-weather lifeboat, 14-37 Betty Huntbatch (ON 1274), on station since 2004, and a B-class (Atlantic 85) Solihull (B-881), on station since 2015.[2]
