From the Wikipedia article
Cardigan Lifeboat Station (Welsh: Gorsaf Bad Achub Aberteifi) is located at Poppit Sands, on the southern side of the River Teifi estuary in North Pembrokeshire, approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) north-west of the town of Cardigan, Wales. A lifeboat was first placed at Cardigan in 1849. Management of the station was transferred to the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS) in 1851, which became the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1854. The station closed in 1932 but reopened in 1971 as an Inshore lifeboat station. The station currently operates a B-class (Atlantic 85) Inshore lifeboat, Albatross (B-871), on station since 2013, and the smaller D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat, John Darbyshire (D-845), on station since 2019.

The new 32 ft self-righting 'Pulling and Sailing' (P&S) lifeboat, one with sails and (10) oars, was transported to New Milford free of charge by the Great Western Railway Company. Funded by the Manchester Lifeboat…
