The Cullercoats lifeboat Sir James Knott is hauled back to shore after its final voyage.
The boat leaved tomorrow for a 300 mile trip to Essex, which will end 117 years of lifeboat service in the village.
Bad weather put a damper on the last outing. It was planned that the boats finale should have been an air-sea rescue exercise with helicopters from RAF Acklington. The helicopters could not take off, however, and the exec side was carried on without any air support. Crowds which were expected to pack Whitby Bay and Cullercoats were kept away by the cold winds.
SIR JAMES KNOTT was built as an Oakley twin screw motor lifeboat by Groves and Gutteridge of Cowes Isle of Wight in 1963. She served at Cullercoats from 1963 to 1969, was a relief lifeboat until 1972, became the Redcar lifeboat until 1986 and was a relief lifeboat again until 1989. The lifeboat was in immediate service during her delivery passage from Cowes to Cullercoats when she was called to help a motor cruiser: She saved two people and towed the cruiser into Gorleston. SIR JAMES KNOTT was stored at Dickies Boat Yard, Bangor from May 1989 and was placed on the RNLI sale list. Since 1990 she has been permanently loaned to the Langburgh-on-Tees Museum Service for display at Kirkleatham Old Hall Museum, Redcar
