THE Worthing station was closed in 1930 when a motor life-boat was sta- tioned at Shoreham Harbour. It had then been open seventy-eight years, and its boats had rescued fifty-eight lives. The boat-house, however, re- mained, and in it the life-boat Richard Coleman, a gift from Birmingham.

It was open to the public. Now, after twenty years as an exhibition station, the boat-house has been closed and the boat withdrawn. She was shown at a life-boat and life-saving exhi- bition at the National Maritime Museum* in May and June, and then went to Southend-on-Sea as an exhibition boat.

* An account of this exhibition will be given in the next number of The Life-boat..
