Borth Lifeboat Station (based in Borth, Ceredigion, Wales) was first established by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in June 1966.[1] The station currently operates a Шаблон:Lbc lifeboat.
The station was opened as a result of a campaign led by Aran Morris MBE who said that his memories of Arctic convoys of World War II inspired him to press for the lifeboat station because it used to take rescuers 20 minutes to get to Borth from Aberystwyth and Aberdyfi during an emergency.
History
In 1987, a new station boathouse was constructed, to replace the original wooden Hardun type boathouse. This provided better storage areas for the boat and equipment, new crew facilities, and a souvenir shop. [2]
In 2018, Amos Bewick was awarded with a Certificate to acknowledge his 21 years of outstanding service with Borth Lifeboat. He had previously been awarded the Bronze Medal for Gallantry for a rescue effected in severe weather conditions in 2001. [3]
