Past Coxswains & Crew 1

I felt that as a mark of respect it is only fitting that I include photographs of individuals that have served as past coxswains and crewmen aboard the rowing and motor lifeboats, which have been stationed at Whitby lifeboat station throughout its 200 years as a medal winning station. Each of the coxswains and crewmen has played an equally important role and as such no preference has been given to one particular coxswain nor crewman and to give them equal credit I have listed them in no particular order.

Whitby Lifeboat has its own dedicated website, it can be accessed using this link it has just been replaced by a newly revised website offering more content and an improved design layout, I have had a sneak preview and it initially looked promising it is a vast improvement on the existing design but sadly not updated on a frequent basis!
