Eyemouth Lifeboat Station is a Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) marine-rescue facility in Eyemouth, Berwickshire, Scotland.
The station was founded in 1876 to protect local fisherman during periods of poor weather conditions.
The original lifeboat house in the town cost £500 to build. This was replaced in 1908 with a new boathouse, with new facilities completed in 1992, and extended in 2010 at a cost of over £200,000.
The station's lifeboat has been placed in the town's harbour afloat since the 1960s with a pontoon berth most recently been added in 2008.[1]
The station currently has 13-29 RNLB Helen Hastings (ON 1336) all weather Shannon-class lifeboat and Шаблон:Lbc inshore lifeboat Sheila (D-877) in service. The station has received two RNLI medals of recognition, one silver in 1991 and a bronze in 1917.[1]
