From the Wikipedia article
Redcar Lifeboat Station is located on The Esplanade at Redcar, a town on the northern coast of Yorkshire, historically North Yorkshire, now Redcar and Cleveland. A lifeboat was first placed at Redcar in 1802. The lifeboat was operated by the Tees Bay Lifeboat and Shipwreck Society (TBLSS) from 1825. Management of the station was transferred to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1858. A second independent lifeboat operated at Redcar between 1877 and ~1898. The station currently operated two Inshore Lifeboats (ILB); the B-class (Atlantic 85) Leicester Challenge III (B-858), on station since 2012, and a smaller D-class (IB1) Eileen May Loach-Thomas (D-786), on station since 2015.
