Swanage RNLI Lifeboat Station |
Swanage Lifeboat Station is a Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) station[1] located on Peveril Point in the town of Swanage in Dorset, England. It operates two lifeboats, the Shannon-class All-weather lifeboat 13-13 George Thomas Lacy (ON 1320) and the D-class (IB1) inshore lifeboat (ILB) Roy Norgrove (D-884).[2]
The station underwent extensive re-development in 2015/16 with a new purpose built boat house to accommodate its new Shannon-class all-weather lifeboat (AWB), and was opened in 2017.[3]
