Eastbourne Lifeboat Station is a Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI)[1] lifeboat station in the town of Eastbourne in East Sussex.[2] Founded two years before the RNLI was established, the station has operated continuously since 1822[3] and its lifeboats have been responsible for saving over 700 lives. There are two active lifeboat stations in Eastbourne, an all-weather station with the Trent-class 14-02 Esme Anderson (ON 1197) at Sovereign Harbour and the D-class (IB1) The David H (D-876) at the inshore lifeboat station a couple of miles to the west at Fisherman's Green. An older lifeboat station, west of Eastbourne Pier, is now used as an RNLI museum.[4]
