Youghal RNLI Lifeboat Station |
Youghal Lifeboat Station is located on The Mall, in Youghal, a town situated on the western bank of the River Blackwater estuary in County Cork, approximately 48.5 kilometres (30.1 mi) east of the city of Cork, on the south coast of Ireland.
A lifeboat was placed here by the Youghal Harbour Trust in 1839. Management of the station was taken over by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1857.[1]
The station currently operates a B-class (Atlantic 85) Inshore lifeboat, Gordon and Phil (B-890), on station since 2016.[2]
