(Above) Staithes lifeboat station, renamed Staithes and Runswick, was re-opened when an Atlantic 21 ILB named Lord Brotherton after a former Lord Mayor of Leeds was dedicated by the Reverend R. W.

Barnacle on June 17. The cost of the ILB together with her boathouse and launching equipment has been met from three sources: from the legacy of Mrs D. U. McGrigor Phillips, Lady Mayoress of the City of Leeds in 1913 in memory of Lord Brotherton, who was Lord Mayor in that year; the legacy of R. K. Talbot in memory of his wife Ida; and from the people of Leeds in their generous support of the Leeds lifeboat appeal which ran from 1975 to 1977. Staithes Fishermen's Choir took part in the service..
