Silloth RNLI Lifeboat Station |
Silloth Lifeboat Station is located at the end of Lawn Terrace, in Silloth, a port town sitting on the Solway Firth, approximately 20 miles (32 km) due west of Carlisle, on the north west coast of Cumbria.[1]
An Inshore lifeboat was first stationed in Silloth by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1860.[2]
The station currently operates a B-class (Atlantic 85) Inshore lifeboat, Elaine and Don Wilkinson (B-828), on station since 2008.[2]
