From the Wikipedia article
Teesmouth Lifeboat Station was latterly situated on the mouth of the River Tees, on the South Gare, in North Yorkshire, England. A lifeboat was first placed at Teesmouth in 1829 by the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS), with management passing to the Tees Bay Lifeboat and Shipwreck Society (TBLSS) in 1843. It is thought that the station ceased operating sometime around 1854, when the TBLSS established a new station at Middlesbrough. The Teesmouth Lifeboat Station was re-established in 1911 by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), operating until 2006, when it was decided that there was sufficient lifeboat cover provided by lifeboats at Hartlepool and Whitby.
