HISTORIC LIFEBOAT TRIPS
aboard ex-RNLI lifeboat The Hampshire Rose
The Rother class The Hampshire Rose served as Walmer RNLI Lifeboat Station's all-weather lifeboat from 1975 - 1990, and was the last all-weather lifeboat to be stationed there. She served two more years as part of the RNLI relief fleet, before being sold into private ownership. Several owners later, she is in Ilfracombe, North Devon, as a private charter vessel, available for sightseeing trips and private charters alike.
