About
The RNLI curently operate an IB1 (D Class) lifeboat “D-606 Jennie B” from the Blyth Lifeboat Station.
In 2007 our IB1 lifeboat was launched on service 22 times, 11 people were rescued and £31,800 worth of craft were recovered.
In 2008 Blyth lifeboat was launched 17 times to a variety of incidents ranging from persons in the water to fishing vessels with mechanical failure and was, for the first time in its history, taken inland by road trailer to assist with the RNLI’s flood reliefe efforts in Morpeth.
In 2009 our inshore lifeboat was launched on service 10 times
All of this is acomplished by a volunteer crew with all equipment and running costs paid for through voluntary donations and contributions.
