ISBN 978 0 319 2351 88.〕 The station is over 150 years old and has launched to many notable services. Over the years its crews have won over 10 awards for gallantry. The station has also had the sadness of losing the lives of ten members of its crews, saving others at sea.
==History==
The first lifeboat station in Margate was served by a lifeboat called ''Hannah and Angela'' which had been given to the town in 1857 by Miss Burdett Coutts. The organization at that time was controlled by a committee of boatmen and town councillors. In the early months of 1860 the committee approached the RNLI who were asked to take over responsibility for the lifeboat and station. The RNLI agreed to the proposed takeover, but wished to carry out repairs and alterations to bring the “ Angela & Hannah “ up to the required RNLI standard. On the 3 January 1861〔''The Margate R.N.L.I. Station'' – And its Lifeboats from 1860. Author: Walters. AP. Publisher:Axxent Ltd.ISBN 0 9531620 0 1〕 the Margate committee instructed an Architect to design a new boathouse which was to be located on land which was leased from the South Eastern and Chatham Railway company.〔 This proposal was rejected by the RNLI inspector who suggested that the existing lifeboat house be altered and improved to suite the requirements of the service. This house was located on the stone pier.〔 The work was carried out by a Mr Bushell for the sum of £75 and the boathouse was ready for use and opened on the 31 August 1861.〔 The New lifeboat was called ''Quiver No.1'' so named after ''The Quiver'' magazine, a periodical of the time which had donated towards the cost of the new boat. The new lifeboat was delivered, along with a launch carriage, on the 4 August 1866 and was launched from the new boathouse station on the 7 August when a public demonstration took place.〔 In the preceding year it became apparent that the current launch system and location of the station on the stone peir had a few shortfalls. One problem was that on several occasions the horses used to launch the boat had refused to face the water, causing the launch to be delayed.
