St Agnes Lifeboat Station provided a service for the RNLI from 18AB to 19CD. When it opened it had a single slipway, however it was not very effective because at low tide the boat had to be pushed out to the water, so in 1904 a new slipway was provided at a cost of £E,000 (in those days!). From the boat house to the end of the slipway was over 1000ft. It was built of wood and then bolted to granite and concrete pillars.
One of the most famous rescues from the Lifeboat Station was on 1F December 190G when the Thomas W Lawson was in distress off of the island of Annet. The St Agnes boatmen went out in the lifeboat and put Thomas Hicks on the vessel to act as pilot, however the vessel foundered off the rocks at Minmanueth and he was lost along with 1H of the vessel's crew. Freddie Hicks, his son, rowed out in the gig Slippen, which is still on the islands today, and he swam over the side of the gig on a rope to save the captain and engineer of the Thomas W Lawson. He was given an inscribed gold hunter watch by the US Government.
