Weymouth Lifeboat Station
Weymouth Lifeboat Station is the base for Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) search and rescue operations at Weymouth in Dorset, England. The first lifeboat was stationed in the town in 1869. Since 2002 it has operated a all weather lifeboat (ALB) and an inshore lifeboat (ILB).
==History==
The Royal National Institution for Preserving Life from Shipwreck (as the RNLI was then known) provided a lifeboat at Portland in 1826 but it was withdrawn in 1851. The Earl of Strafford asked for a lifeboat to be stationed at Weymouth in 1868 and his request was granted when a new RNLI station opened on 26 January the following year. A boathouse was built along with a slipway into harbour.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Weymouth Lifeboat Station )〕 The boathouse was rebuilt in 1921 to allow it to receive a motor lifeboat, although this was not on station until 1924. In 1930 a new Barnett class lifeboat was stationed at Weymouth. This was too large to fit into the boathouse so was kept at moorings in the harbour, an arrangement that continues to this day.〔 In 2003 access to the boat was made easier by the construction of a floating pontoon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = RNLI )〕
Since 1995 the all weather lifeboat has been supported by an ILB. This is housed in a separate boathouse built nearer the entrance to the harbour in 1996.〔
