Humber Lifeboat Station is an All-weather lifeboat station based at the mouth of the River Humber.
The station was opened in 1810, and was located on on Spurn Point in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Previously operated by Hull Trinity House, it was transferred to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1911.
Due to the waters around this part of the coast being so dangerous, and Spurn Point being so remote from the mainland, it is the only All-weather lifeboat station in the United Kingdom staffed by a professional full-time RNLI crew. Since 1810, the crews having been awarded 33 RNLI medals for gallantry.[1]
In June 2023, due to problems with the jetty on Spurn Point, and considering the continuing coastal erosion and difficulties getting access, it was announced that the Spurn Point base would close. Humber lifeboat station would move permanently to their second base at Grimsby Docks, previously used temporarily in certain weather conditions. [2]
The current lifeboat is the Severn-class 17-05 Pride of the Humber (ON 1216), which has been on service since 1997.[3]
