RNLI Moelfre
Moelfre Lifeboat Station has a remarkable history of bravery with its lifeboat crews being awarded 37 medals for gallantry. Two of the Gold Medals were awarded to the outstanding figure in the station's history - Coxswain Richard Evans.
The current boathouse shown in these photographs became operational in March 2015.
The original boathouse was built in 1875 and was replaced in 1909. This was modified several times between 1930 and 1993 to accommodate larger boats; its slipway had been commensurately lengthened as well. This station was stone-built with rendered walls and a slate roof, on a rectangular base of coursed, squared limestone.
There are 2 lifeboats at the station. The All-Weather boat, Tamar class, is RNLB KIWI in appreciation of the major sponsor of the boat's construction who happened to be from New Zealand. The inshore boat is a D class RIB D689 ENFYS.
