Aldeburgh Lifeboat Station is located in the town of Aldeburgh, in the English county of Suffolk.[1]
A lifeboat station was first established at Aldeburgh by the Royal National Institute for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS) in 1851. The RNIPLS became the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1854.[2]
The station currently operates the B-class (Atlantic 85) Howard Bell (B-899), on service since 14 October 2024, and the smaller D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat Susan Scott (D-808), on station since 2017. The station covers the coast between Harwich station to the south, and Southwold station to the North.[3]
