ON594 "William Riley" [William Riley of Birmingham & Leamington] Built by Thames Ironworks, London in 1909 to a self-righting design by Rubie. Powered by 10 oars, cox, 2nd cox and bowman - No Sails. Stationed at Upgang and then Whitby. Sold out of service in 1931. Found derelict in Barnstaple and restored to sea-going condition in 2008 & used for fund-raising. . Oldest exRNLI lifeboat present. . Personally, I had quite a lot to do with retrieving and restoring her.
