Arklow Lifeboat Station is a RNLI lifeboat station located in the coastal town of Arklow, County Wicklow on the east coast of Ireland. It was established in 1826, making it the oldest lifeboat station in Ireland.[1]

History
Originally established in 1826, the station was closed in 1830, and the boat was relocated to Newcastle, County Down.
The station was reopened in 1853[2] after series of maritime disasters.[3]
A new boathouse was built in 1873, and adapted in 1912 to house the stations first motorized lifeboat.[4]
