Sunderland Video Channel presents: Sunderland RNLI

Sunderland lifeboat station was established in the year 1800, just 10 years after the invention of the lifeboat in the nearby town of South Shields by William Woodhave and Henry Greathead, pre-dating the RNLI by some 40+ years.

Oars and sail powered the first lifeboats, with the first motor powered lifeboat arriving at Sunderland in 1911, and the first fully inflatable lifeboat arriving in Sunderland in 1966.

You can help rescue lives at sea by volunteering or by fundraising.Just email sunderland@rnli.org.uk
