	Welcome to Tynemouth Lifeboat


	Tynemouth RNLI station is situated on the East Quayside at North Shields, just inside the mouth of the River Tyne on the North East coast of England. The station and its volunteer crew provides a round the clock marine search and rescue service covering local coasts and up to 100 nautical miles out to sea.

New Inshore lifeboat: The station has taken delivery of a new inshore lifeboat, donated to the charity in memory of the brother of the donor. The £29,000 lifeboat is named "Mark Noble" in memory of a Tyneside man. It is an updated version of the lifeboat station’s existing D class - one of the workhorses of the RNLI fleet - and is known as the Inshore Boat 1 (IB1). More info and photos can be seen here.
