RNLI: Rosslare Harbour Lifeboat Station

Rosslare Harbour Lifeboat Station is the base for a Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeboat at Rosslare Harbour in County Wexford, Ireland.

The first lifeboat was stationed at Rosslare Harbour in 1896. The station was closed in 1921 but reopened in 1927 to replace the Wexford Lifeboat Station which had been closed due to coastal erosion.
