New Tower Lifeboat Station

Описание: The new lifeboat station for Tower RNLI was recently floated under the iconic Tower Bridge to its permanent home.

Their previous station – which had parts of its pontoon dating back to the Victorian era - was floated away from its home on Victoria Embankment in January.

New figures released by the RNLI reveal that the Tower lifeboat crew had launched more times than any other station in 2022 and had their busiest year to date.

Last year the crew at Tower launched 734 times - and saved 21 lives.

It is expected the crew will be fully operational from the new station by the end of April.

Hear about the new facilities and lifesaving advantages the new station will bring from crew member Suzanne Goldberg.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, lifeboat crews around the UK and Ireland are ready to launch to help those in need. Whether you're stuck on a sinking ship, cut off by a rapidly rising tide, or in the water and close to drowning, RNLI crew members will drop everything to come to your rescue. 95% of RNLI lifeboat crews and station staff are volunteers.

But it’s not just lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards patrol 248 beaches, keeping people safe, providing safety advice and rescuing those in trouble. Education volunteers visit schools and swimming clubs to help teach the next generation how to enjoy the water safely. And volunteer fundraisers and shop workers give up their time to generate vital funds. The RNLI is also working to help communities around the world that are most at risk of drowning.

If you spot someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.
