Geocache Description:


LS37 Lifeboat Station Plymouth Devon (Current)

 

There has been a lifeboat in Plymouth since 1803. Plymouth was one of the first places on the coast of Great Britain to have a lifeboat. The first lifeboat recorded at Plymouth was built by Henry Greathead, who built the first lifeboat in 1789.

The centre is still very much active and have answered 82 calls in 2017 alone. The centre is in prime location in Milbay Docks and is home to two lifeboats, and All Weather Lifeboat (ALB) and an Inshore Lifeboat (ILB). The ALB (Sybil Mullen Glover) is a Severn Class lifeboat and was named by the Queen in 2003.  The ILB (Millennium Forester) is an Atlantic 75 B-Class Lifeboat and was placed on service in 2004.
