St Peter Port Lifeboat Station |
St Peter Port Lifeboat Station is located at St Peter Port, capital of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, and main port of the island of Guernsey, a self-governing British Crown Dependency and one of the Channel Islands.
A lifeboat was first placed here in 1803. By 1857, the station was operating from St Samson, and was transferred to the management of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1861. St Peter Port station was re-opened in 1881.[1]
The station currently operates a Severn-class All-weather lifeboat, 17-04 Spirit of Guernsey (ON 1203), on station since 1997, and a B-class (Atlantic 85) Inshore lifeboat, Harold Hobbs (B-943), on station since 2024.
