Seahouses Lifeboat Station is located in the village of Seahouses, in the county of Northumberland.
A lifeboat was first stationed here by the Crewe Trustees in 1827. The station was taken over by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1859. Originally known as North Sunderland Lifeboat Station, the name was formally changed to Seahouses Lifeboat Station in 1999.[1]
The station currently operates a Shannon-class All-weather lifeboat 13-36 John and Elizabeth Allan (ON 1343), and a D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat Grace Darling (D-828).[2]
