Caister Volunteer Lifeboat Service or Caister Lifeboat is based at Caister-on-Sea in Norfolk, and operates one of only three offshore lifeboats in the UK that are independent of the RNLI.〔(Caister Volunteer Lifeboat Service: "The Caister Lifeboat" ). Retrieved 4 October 2007〕〔(BBC Online: Caister Lifeboat )〕 A lifeboat at Caister was first documented in 1791, being used by the Caister Beach Company to salvage ships wrecked on the sand banks offshore from Caister. Between 1856 and 1969 lifeboats at Caister were operated by the RNLI. The current lifeboats, the ''Bernard Matthews II'' (a Dutch-built Valentijn 2000 offshore lifeboat) and the ''Fred Dyble'' (a 5m long Ribcraft onshore lifeboat), are run by the Caister Volunteer Lifeboat Service, a registered charity supported entirely by public donation. ==List of Coxswains== *1845-1872 Ben Hodds *1872-1887 Philip George *1887-1900 James Haylett Jnr *1900-1901 Aaron Haylett *1902-1903 John "Whampo" Brown *1903-1919 John "Spratt" Haylett *1919-1935 Charles Laycock *1935-1950 Joseph Woodhouse *1950-1956 James Brown *1956-1969 Jack Plummer *1969-1981 Alfred Brown *1981-1991 Roland "Benny" Read *1991-2004 Richard Thurlow *2004 – present Paul Willia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caister Volunteer Lifeboat Service」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
