Founded in 1803 the Newhaven Lifeboat Station is amongst the oldest in the country. Formed some 21 years before the Royal National Lifeboat Institution itself, it celebrated its' 200th Anniversary in May 2003. Throughout the Station’s history the lifeboats of Newhaven have provided rescue cover for those in distress off the South Coast. From these pages you can learn a little of our Station’s past and hopefully a lot more about its’ present and future. Through the links you will be able to visit sites representing our colleagues and others concerned as we are with the saving of life at sea. Neither Newhaven Lifeboat Station nor the Royal National Lifeboat Institution are responsible for the content of external internet sites accessed through the links from this site.

Wherever possible when the originator of a photograph is known for certain we have given appropriate credit. If anyone believes that their photographs have been used without consent please contact the webmaster and we will either give appropriate credit or remove the photographs if preferred.
