Departure of Ilfracombe Lifeboat

19 September 2026 @ 11:30 - 12:30
Free
The time for our Shannon class lifeboat, the Barry & Peggy High Foundation, to leave Ilfracombe is getting near.
She has been on service here since 2015 and has been a very significant part of our station and our community.
However, the changing nature of rescues here means that our Shannon is no longer the right boat for us.
While we are desperately sad to say goodbye, we are very much looking forward to the future with our fast, manoeuvrable Atlantic 85.
Please help us show our appreciation of the Barry & Peggy High Foundation’s long service here and join us on 19th September as she launches on her last journey from our harbour.
