Amble Lifeboat Station

Amble Lifeboat Station is located at Radcliffe Quay, Warkworth Harbour, in the town of Amble, at the mouth of the River Coquet, in the county of Northumberland. A lifeboat was first stationed at Amble in 1843, by the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS). The Amble station was deemed to have closed in 1852, when a lifeboat was placed at Hauxley in 1852, considered a more suitable location for the "Warkworth Harbour lifeboat". The station at Amble was re-established by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1939, following the deployment of a new motor-powered lifeboat, unsuitable for the Hauxley station, which was closed. The station currently operates a Shannon-class All-weather lifeboat, 13-16 Elizabeth and Leonard (ON 1323), on station since 2016, and a D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat Alf and Dora Whiting (D-867), on station since 2022.
