Skerries RNLI Lifeboat Station

Howth Lifeboat Station sits on the middle pier at Howth Harbour in the fishing village of Howth, on Howth Head, a peninsula located on the north side of Dublin Bay, in the administrative region of Fingal, historically County Dublin, on the east coast of Ireland.

A lifeboat was first stationed at Howth in 1817 by the Corporation and Port of Dublin. Management of the station was transferred to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1862.[1]
