The world's oldest surviving lifeboat

In a purpose built museum in Redcar
The Zetland had an illustrious carreer (see notice board image) and saved over 500 lives
It was one of 31 built by Henry Greathead

Greathead never took out a patent on his invention, and was always willing to share his plans with others for the public good.[7]
By 1806 his lifeboats were in use at Whitby, North Shields, South Shields, Exmouth, Penzance, Plymouth, Newhaven, Ramsgate, Dover, Liverpool, Lowestoft, St Andrews, Montrose, Aberdeen, Ayr, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark and Russia.[6] In 1811 the list included Guernsey, Arbroath, Pillau, Cronstadt, Rye, Whitehaven, Stettin, Riga, Danzig, Cromer, Leith, Bridlington, Charleston, Fraserburgh, Gothenburg, San Lucar, Dunbar, Blyth, Redcar and Heligoland. The Admiralty had also purchased five smaller craft.[4]
In total, Henry Greathead built 31 lifeboats. His eleventh boat, the Zetland built in 1802, saw 78 years of service in Redcar and saved over 500 lives with the loss of only one crew member. She normally had a crew of 13, but up to 20 could be needed in rough weather. Her cork fenders were replaced at some point by internal buoyancy tanks. This boat is the only one of Greathead's to survive, and is preserved at the Zetland Lifeboat Museum and Redcar Heritage Centre
Historical details are on the board in one of extra images.
It could not be sunk by swamping, as there were buoyancy chambers along the sides and as can be seen in one of the images cylindrical pots that drained excess seawater through holes in the floor out of the bottom of the boat.
The Whitby boat was wrecked on its third outing on one exeptional storm close to whitby harbour with the loss of all but one, a boy wearing the very first cork lifebelt, he went on to be the most famous of all Whitby lifeboatmen after that terrible start.
