Geocache Description:


Littlestone Inshore Lifeboat

A lifeboat was first stationed at Littlestone in 1861 when the "Providence" was moved from Dungeness. The station closed again in 1928, and the lifeboat, the fifth to serve here, was moved to Hythe. Records show that it had only three service launches during sixteen years at Littlestone.
However, in 1966 a smaller, lighter craft was positioned here. The present lifeboat, the fourth, is an Atlantic 21 type which arrived in 1988. Its name, "The Lady Dart and Long Life II" honours the fundraising activities of the ladies' darts team from a nearby pub. It carries a crew of 3, has a length of 6.9m (22ft 9in), a speed of 29 knots, and an endurance of 3 hours at maximum speed. If you dont sign the log book dont log it online.
