Whitby Lifeboat Station

Whitby Lifeboat Station is located at Market Place, on the east side of the River Esk in Whitby, a seaside town and port in North Yorkshire, England. It is one of eight lifeboat stations situated along the Yorkshire coast. Whitby has had a lifeboat station since 1802, with management of the station transferring to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1861. In its 200 plus year history, Whitby has had seven different lifeboat stations (although not all operated at the same time). An eighth lifeboat station was located at Upgang, just up the coast from Whitby, and whilst it was considered separate from Whitby, it was crewed by Whitby lifeboat men.

The station currently operates two lifeboats; a 13-metre (43 ft) Shannon-class All-weather lifeboat (ALB), 13-49 Lois Ivan (ON 1356), on station since 2023, and the smaller D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat (ILB), Warter Priory (D-810), on station since 2017.

The 199 steps have been recorded since at least 1370, and until the 1770s, were made of wood.
