Whitby Lifeboat Station

Whitby Lifeboat Station is a Royal National Lifeboat Institution RNLI lifeboat station located in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. It is one of nine situated along the Yorkshire coast and is home to both an All-Weather Lifeboat and an Inshore Lifeboat . A lifeboat station has been in existence in Whitby since 1802, with responsibility for the lifeboats being part of the RNLI since 1861. In its 200 plus year history, Whitby has had five different lifeboat stations . A sixth lifeboat and station was located at Upgang, just up the coast from Whitby, and whilst it was considered separate from Whitby, it was crewed by men from the Whitby lifeboat.

The present day station and its two lifeboats, cover a huge swathe of the northern coast from the Humber to Hartlepool, and is regularly listed as the busiest in the north of England. The station has two lifeboats; the All-Weather Lifeboat George and Mary Webb and the Inshore Lifeboat Warter Priory.
