Early lifeboat at Cresswell, Northumberland.
There were three lifeboats at Cresswell, Northumberland, and it is not clear which boat is pictured here.
Cresswell was a lifeboat station for just under 69 years. The Old Potter, which served from 1875 to 1889, was launched eight times and saved 33 lives. The Ellen and Eliza, 1889-1909, was launched 20 times and saved 41 lives. The Martha, 1909-1944, was launched 30 times and saved 17 lives. None of them was motorised, though the Ellen and Eliza, of which there is a ship-in-a-bottle model in Cresswell Village Hall, had sails.
