Tenby Lifeboat Station
Tenby Lifeboat Station (Welsh: Gorsaf Bad Achub Dinbych-y Pysgod) comprises two locations, an All-weather lifeboat station, and a separate Inshore lifeboat station, in Tenby, a seaside resort approximately 40 miles (64 km) due west of Swansea, on the western shore of Carmarthen Bay, in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
A lifeboat station was established at Tenby by The Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Royal Benevolent Society (SFMRBS) in 1852, passing to the management of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1854.
The station currently operates 16-02 Haydn Miller (ON 1282), a Tamar-class All-weather lifeboat, on station since 2006, and Kathleen Ann (D-858), a smaller D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat, on station since 2022.
Ever since its founding in 1824, the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS), later to become the RNLI in 1854, would award medals for deeds of gallantry at sea, even if no lifeboats were involved. On 22 October 1834, Boatman John Ray made more than a dozen attempts to rescue a man, who had fallen overboard from the sloop Mary. Although his efforts proved unsuccessful, Ray was awarded the RNIPLS Silver Medal for his gallantry.
Tenby Lifeboat Station was established in 1852, by The Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Royal Benevolent Society (SFMRBS). A 28-foot (8.5 m) lifeboat constructed by James Beeching of Great Yarmouth, named Grace Darling, was acquired at a cost of £125, and operated from the small boathouse tucked against the harbour wall.
By 1854, the SFMRBS was involved in the management of eight lifeboat stations, Lytham, Rhyl, Portmadoc, Hornsea, Llanelli, Teignmouth, Newhaven and Tenby. Discussions were held between the SFMRBS and the RNLI, and an agreement was made, where the former would concentrate on the welfare of those rescued, whilst the latter would be involved in lifeboats, stations and rescues. Management of all eight stations was transferred to the RNLI on 7 December 1854.
Grace Darling was sent to boat-builders Forrest of Limehouse, London for modification work, at a cost of £104-18s-9d, to bring her to RNLI specifications, returning to station, and operating until 1863.
Between 1854 and 1859, the RNLI Silver Medal for gallantry was awarded 4 times, including service to the following vessels:
