RNLI Station Histories Guidebook
Explore two centuries of RNLI lifeboat history, heroic rescues, and the enduring tradition of saving lives at sea.
On the Central Promenade at Cleethorpes, on the south bank of the Humber, an inshore lifeboat covers the busy estuary mouth and its treacherous sands. First established in 1868 as Humber Mouth station, it was re-established as an inshore station and now runs an Atlantic 85 and a D-class.
The RNLI first stationed a lifeboat at Cleethorpes (then Humber Mouth) in 1868; it operated for only 14 years before the lifeboat was relocated to Grimsby in 1882.
An inshore lifeboat station was re-established in the 1980s; sources give 1980 (infobox) and 1987 (article) — reconcile.
