Fleetwood Lifeboat Station

Fleetwood Lifeboat Station is located on The Esplanade at the port of Fleetwood, a Lancashire town at the north end of The Fylde, sitting at the mouth of the River Wyre. A lifeboat was first stationed at Fleetwood by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1859. The station currently operates 13-14 Kenneth James Pierpoint (ON 1321), a Shannon-class All-weather lifeboat, on station since 2016, and a smaller D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat, Harbet (D-853), on station since 2021.
