The R.N.L.I's charter does not make provision for the preservation of old lifeboats and equipment, and the National Lifeboat Museum Bristol was therefore established as an independent registered charity for this purpose.

NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT MUSEUM On the quayside in the heart of the city's dockland is the largest display of Historic Lifeboats in Europe.

Come and see the Lizzie Porter from Holy Island, now fully restored, on the sole surviving horse drawn carriage.

The Grace Darling from Youghal and the Susan Ashley from Sennen Cove, and many others.
