Royal National Lifeboat Institution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is largely a volunteer organisation founded in 1824 as the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, adopting the present name in 1854. The crews of the lifeboats are almost entirely volunteers, the 4600 sea-going crew members, including over 300 women are alerted by pagers backed up by maroons and attend the lifeboat station when alerted. The RNLI operates 5 classes of inshore lifeboats, both inflatable boats and RIBs, of 20-40 knots (37-74 km/h), and 6 classes of all-weather motor life boats with maximum speeds of 16-25 knots (30-46 km/h). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Royal_National_Lifeboat_Institution   (597 words)

Reason: Life savings - UK's Royal National Lifeboat Institution The David Robinson is one of 272 lifeboats assigned to 210 stations in the British Isles run by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is a private organization, supported, as it proudly says on its letterhead, "entirely by voluntary contributions" and managed by its own trustees and staff. While the local chapters manage station operations and local fund raising, the national office establishes standards, runs training and testing programs, and designs and builds the high-tech lifeboats (the newest of which are self-righting, capable of 25 knots, and cost more than $1 million each). www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1568/is_n4_v26/ai_15630221   (1329 words)

Royal National Lifeboat Institution Coventry Branch However, it proved to be impractical to bring this boat from her station at the North Pier, Hartlepool, but her crew came, bringing with them the reserve lifeboat Joseph Sykes, which had been stationed at Upgang, near Whitby, until 1890. that year and, bearing in mind Coventry’s close association with the cycle industry, it was agreed that the Cyclist lifeboat and her crew should be invited to Coventry from Hartlepool, where the boat was stationed. A total of £375-2s-0d was collected that weekend and after deducting expenses such as£2-10s-0d for travel, board and lodging for each of the lifeboat-men, a cheque for £300 was sent to RNLI Headquarters. hartlepool-cycleclub.org /history/royal_national_lifeboat_institut.htm   (418 words)
