[2] On 7 November 1890, in very rough seas in the Menai Strait, the Penmon lifeboat Christopher Brown capsized after recovering 5 crew from the Undaunted, aground on Lavan Sands.

An order was placed with Thames Ironworks for a 43-foot Watson-class lifeboat, with a 60 hp Tylor 'D' petrol engine, providing 7½ knots, and costing a further £3,727.

[3] In 1966, the BBC TV programme Blue Peter launched an appeal for 60,000 paperback books, the sale of which would fund a new Inshore lifeboat for the RNLI.

[4] The BBC TV programme would eventually fund 28 lifeboats located around the UK and Northern Ireland.

A small boathouse was erected near Victoria Terrace, replaced with a more permanent building nearer the pier in 1975.

[2] After her service at Beaumaris, Blue Peter II (D-127) would go on display at Flambards Theme Park, Helston.
