Lives lost at Lulworth Cove Two teenage boys were swept off rocks at Lulworth Cove in Dorset on 3 November 2005. A third boy managed to get himself ashore and raise the alarm. Four lifeboats, Weymouth's relief Severn class Roger and Joy Freeman and Atlantic 75 Phyl Clare 3 and Swanage's Mersey class Robert Charles Brown and D class Jack Cleare, were involved in the search, which went well into the night and throughout the following days.

Tragically, both lives were lost. The Grand Hotel in Swanage set up a memorial fund to cover funeral and other expenses. The surplus will be donated to the RNLI..
