[2] On 6 March 1883, the brig Matchless was wrecked off Barmston whilst en route to London from Seaham, County Durham.

[5] Just around Barmston, these included the vessels William Maitland, Squirrel, Lavinia, Endeavour, Spinney, Agility, Bebside, Windsor, Yare, and Worthy.

A legacy of £3,100 had been received from the estate of Mr. George Walker of Southport, specifically for the provision of a lifeboat on the Yorkshire coast, and was appropriated to Barmston.

[7] Land was provided by Sir Henry Somerville Boynton, Bt., and a boathouse was constructed near Horse Bridge on Barmston Main Drain by W. J. Renard, at a cost of £420-8s-2d.

Finally, the lifeboat was launched on 31 January 1897, to the aid of the Norwegian barque Ingha, aground 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Bridlington, but on arrival, found the vessel had re-floated and required no assistance.
