Skegness Lifeboat Station is located at Tower Esplanade, in the town of Skegness, on the east coast of England, south of the Humber Estuary and north of The Wash, in the county of Lincolnshire.[1]
A station was first opened at Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire in 1825, by the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS). The station was moved to Skegness just five years later in 1830.[2]
The station currently operates an All-weather Shannon-class lifeboat, 13-17 Joel and April Grunnill (ON 1324), on station since 2017, and a D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat, The Holland Family (D-842), on station since 2019.[2]
