Walmer Lifeboat Station - Lifeboats and Rescue Stations on Waymarking.com

There has been a Lifeboat Station at Walmer since 1856, but it wasn't until 1930 that the first motor lifeboat took station here. The current Walmer Lifeboat Station building dates back to 1871 and outwardly has changed very little. Walmer was once home to an All Weather D-Class lifeboat, the last being 'The Hampshire Rose', which was withdrawn in May 1990. Walmer then became an Inshore Lifeboat Station. The first Atlantic 21 boat 'James Burgess' (B-589) took station in 1992.

Walmer Lifeboat Station is currently home to 2 inshore lifeboats, the D-Class 'Duggie Rodbard' (designated D-663), and the Atlantic 85 'Donald McLauchlan' (designated B-808).
