The prototype "Waveney" [44ft / steel hull] was based on an American design of lifeboat]. So she was known, very unofficially, as "The Yank". She had a tour around the UK, with a staff cox'n in charge. For the visit to Bude in 1966 (?), that was Ian C. Ives, seen here standing second from right. She never saw "official service" so was not allocated an O.N. [Official Number] although I believe she did more than one tow to safe harbour during her time on the demonstration tours. Now on show with other preserved / historic lifeboats in the RNLI display at the Royal Naval Dockyard Museum at Chatham, England.

The last all-weather lifeboat to be stationed at Newbiggin by the Sea has been plinthed at Beale Park, nr Reading since withdrawn by the RNLI in 1989. Image taken in 2004, during the planning stages for her eventual return to Newbiggin for restoration and display.

Partial side-on view of "Mary Joicey" in the Newbiggin Maritime Heritage centre. A great deal of work has been done since 2004 - repairs and repainting, mainly.
