Rhyl Lifeboat Station is located in the North Wales town of Rhyl. For over 150 years the Lifeboat Crew in Rhyl have been saving lives at sea. The first lifeboat was stationed in the town in 1853 and the present station was opened in December 2001. The station operates a Mersey Class all weather boat (ALB) and an IB1 inshore lifeboat (ILB). == History == In 1852 the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariner’s Society placed a lifeboat at Rhyl, shortly after in 1853 the lifeboat “Gwylan y Mor”, capsized with the loss of six of her crew.〔(A Melancholy Catastrophe 1853 )〕 In 1963 Rhyl Lifeboat (Anthony Robert Marshall) was launched on service to the first lifeboat rescue of a hovercraft.〔(The World's first rescue by Lifeboat of a hovercraft )〕 For this service a silver medal for gallantry was awarded to Coxswain Harold Campini. In 1967 the first D Class ILB Lifeboat was put on service in Rhyl to accompany the All-Weather Lifeboat for inshore rescues. In 1973 the bronze medal for gallantry was awarded to Helmsman Don Archer-Jones for the courage and seamanship he displayed when the ILB rescued 2 boys cut off by the tide, and clinging to a perch marking the sewer outfall between Rhyl and Prestatyn, in a gale force westerly wind and a rough sea on 7 August. Crew member Paul Frost was awarded a medal service certificate. In 2002 HRH The Duke of Kent, presented the lifeboat station with an anniversary Vellum to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Rhyl lifeboat. 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「Rhyl Lifeboat Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
