RNLB William Bennett (ON 11)
RNLB ''William Bennett'' (ON 11) was the second RNLI lifeboat to be stationed at the English seaside town of Sheringham in the county of Norfolk.〔''OS Explorer Map 252 - Norfolk Coast East''. ISBN 978-0-319-23815-8.〕 She served the North Norfolk coast from 1886 until 1904.〔Sheringham Lifeboats: By Leach, Nicholas and Russell, Paul :Published by landmark Pub Ltd, 2009: ISBN 978-1-84306-473-2〕 Her time at Sheringham was notorious for the difficulties she had during launch and retrieval to the lifeboat station which at this time was awkwardly placed in the centre of town.

By 1885 the towns’ old lifeboat was a cause of concern to the towns’ lifeboat men. It had become apparent to these men that the ''Duncan'', which had been the first RNLI lifeboat to be stationed at the town, was no longer suitable. In June 1885 a meeting was arranged by the local committee of the lifeboat and fishermen. So concerned were these men that 150 men attended. A request was formulised and sent to the RNLI asking for a new lighter boat with a longer keel and wider beam that would be more suitable for the difficult launch situation in the town. A month later the RNLI’s Chief Inspector visited Sheringham station and recommended a new self-righting lifeboat be stationed there. In his recommendation it was stated that the lifeboat should be clench built of larch, be 41 foot long and must be pulling fourteen oars.
