RNLI Peel
The lifeboat station at Peel was first established 1828. The present boat house dates from 1992 and the adjoining concrete slipway was constructed between 1990-91.
The boat house was built on the site of the original dating from 1885 and provided a greater size required to accommodate the tractor launched Mersey Class Lifeboat RNLB RUBY CLERY which has had over a quarter of a century on station. The lifeboat is named after the great grand daughter of the founder of Royal National Lifeboat Institution Sir William Hillary.
The lifeboat is launched from a carriage hauled by a Talus MB-H tractor designed specifically for the RNLI by Clayton Engineering. Whilst launching of the lifeboat can be completed within a few minutes, recovery is a lengthier process taking about three quarters of an hour.
