The first station opened in 1884 in Port Eynon after successive tragedies along the coast resulted in a large death toll. The RNLI decided a lifeboat should be stationed further west than The Mumbles Lifeboat Station and chose Port Eynon for the location.
A boathouse was built on the west end of Port Eynon Bay to house the lifeboat A Daughter's Offering. This building is now used as a Youth Hostel by the YHA. A Daughter's Offering had a successful 22 years of service, saving 39 lives in total. In 1906, A Daughter's Offering had reached the end of her useful life, so a new lifeboat was provided.
