[3] In October 1985, the lifeboat rescued the Irish Leader of the Opposition, Charles Haughey, when his yacht sank at the Mizen Head.

[5] With the arrival of the new Tamar-class All-weather lifeboat in 2012, the decision was taken not to rebuild the boathouse to take the larger boat.

Baltimore lifeboat was called to the fishing vessel Japonica, 13 miles west of Fastnet Rock, at 5pm on the 30 October 1991.

After battling storm Force 10 conditions for over 2 hours, the lifeboat arrived on scene, and after a tow was finally established, the boat was brought to the shelter of Bantry Bay just after 6am.

Putting into Castletownbere for repairs, the lifeboat was once again tasked to the 60ft Sailing boat Atlantic Adventurer south of Fastnet Rock.
