Today's Severn class lifeboat launches into the often turbulent seas of the Pentalnd Firth. The crews have been presented with 17 awards for gallantry, the most recent in 2004.</p> <p>The current boathouse was built in 1957 and was adapted in 1970. In 2004 the new lifeboat, 'The Taylors', was placed on service on 7th April. This lifeboat was funded by the generous bequest of Mrs Vera Rita Eliza Taylor together with the bequest of Miss Agness Anita Cluness. A new pontoon berth for the new lifeboat was also completed this year.</p>
