Cullercoats is the 'home' of the self-righting lifeboat.  After two consecutive local losses around 1848, the Duke of Northumberland initiated a competition for the design of a self-righting boat and financed the building of 'Percy', that was delivered in 1852 The life boat station can be seen in EPW019764 on the north side of the bay.  |

On the beach below the church the old wooden lifeguard boats were chained to a post and made a great shelter on chilly evenings when I was a little child. Later on working as a lifeguard in the late 70s I loved rowing out to the island, we used to surf them in to shore and managed a few very hairy capsizes in huge stormy seas. I think the boats dated to the late 20s from what I was told at the time.  |
