Tynemouth Lifeboat - The online home of Tynemouth RNLI lifeboat station

October 26th, 2006: Historic link kept alive with lifeboat donation:

Members of the Brigham & Cowan Employee’s Welfare Club, have made a £400 donation to Tynemouth Lifeboat. The South Shields based club, founded by employees of the now closed Brigham & Cowan ship repair yard has always been a strong supporter of Tynemouth RNLI and the tradition continues today, despite the yard closing some years ago. Club members enjoyed a trip out to sea on Tynemouth RNLI’s all weather lifeboat Spirit of Northumberland.”
