== History ==
The first lifeboat station in Portsea opened in 1886 and was known as Southsea Lifeboat station and was operated by the RNLI. This station had been opened as it had been realised by the RNLI committees of the neighbouring stations of Hayling island and Bembridge that the Solent’s busy shipping lanes required additional cover upstream towards the cities of Portsmouth and Southampton. The first lifeboat was called ''Heyland'' and she was a 10 oared self-righting pulling lifeboat. She was the first of three lifeboats to serve at Southsea.
The Southsea station was closed in 1918 when the RNLI decided that the area would be adequately covered by the stations at Hayling and Bembridge. Increases in traffic and the introduction of inflatable boats that required smaller crews led to the re-establishment of the station in May 1965.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Station History: Portsmouth Lifeboat Station )〕 A boathouse was constructed at Eastney Point facing Langstone Harbour. The first inshore lifeboat was paid for by funds raised by Hemel Hempstead Round Table. This was a D-class ILB and had the Number 48. By 1967 the station was operating two rigid hull inshore lifeboats with the craft being kept at permanent anchor in the harbour at Eastney.〔
In 1975 the station was provided with a new boat house to keep the stations newly allocated Atlantic and D-class lifeboats. The previous ILB which had been moored afloat were withdrawn from the service. This boat house was re-developed in 1991 which provided the staff and crews with a changing/drying room, new toilet and shower facilities and a first aid reception room. Also within the building there is a workshop, training and briefing room and a station office.〔
