Saltburn Lifeboat Station

[2] The Appleyard was called to the aid of the steamship Grinkle on 9 December 1874, on passage from the River Tyne to La Rochelle, when she was driven ashore at Saltburn.

Provided from a generous gift from Mrs Townsend of Tewkesbury, the boat arrived by rail, from where she was taken in procession to the boathouse, and named Charles and Ann (ON 215).

[2] On the afternoon of the 8 December 1882, the Charles and Ann was launched to the aid of the Libra of Boekzetelerfehn, bound for Hamburg carrying a cargo of Guano, when she ran aground off Saltburn.

This was another 34-foot lifeboat, this time constructed by Chambers and Golby of Lowestoft, provided from the legacy of Mrs. Mary Scales of Armley, Leeds.

[2] Mary Batger would be launched to the aid of the steam-trawler Honoria of Hull, fully laden with fish, and on her return from the Faroe Islands, when she ran aground at Marske-by-the-Sea.

On 22 March 1922, Mary Batger would launch for the last time, rescuing the crew of three from the coble Ever True of Skinningrove.

[2] Due to the placement of motor-lifeboats at both Teesmouth and Whitby, and sufficient other cover from Redcar and Staithes and Runswick, the Saltburn Lifeboat was withdrawn, and the station was closed in 1922.
