Friend to all Nations
The ''Friend to all Nations'' was the second surfboat stationed at Margate for maritime rescue. She entered service on 6 July 1878 and was retired after being damaged in a storm on 30 November 1898. She became famous for a failed rescue in the great storm of 1897, during which 9 of her 13 crew were lost.
A considerable sum was donated for the benefit of the families of those who had died, but the funds were mostly spent on two large memorials in Margate. One is in the local cemetery, and the other is on the parade overlooking Nayland Rock, where the tragedy took place.
==Early career==
After the loss of the first Margate surfboat, the ''Friend of all Nations'', funds were raised by local boatmen for a replacement, to be built by the builders of the first boat, White’s of Cowes. The new boat could still be launched by four men without the need of horses. Its arrival in Margate on 6 July 1878, was attended with the traditional procession, and at her naming ceremony she was christened with the slightly altered name the ''Friend to all Nations.''
In December 1890 she rescued 6 crewmen from the tankship ''Ville de Calais'' in a blizzard off the Nayland Rock.
