Description
The Mumbles Lifeboat Station (based in Mumbles, Swansea, Wales) opened in 1835 with a lifeboat that was funded and managed by Swansea Harbour Trustees and was known as Swansea Lifeboat Station. The station was taken over by the RNLI in 1863 and moved to Mumbles in 1866 being situated just off the Mumbles Pier. The station only officially became The Mumbles Lifeboat Station in 1904.
The station currently operates a Tamar-class lifeboat and a D-class (IB1) lifeboat from a new building at the end of the pier
