Appledore Lifeboat Station
Appledore Lifeboat Station can be found at the end of Irsha Street in Appledore, a village overlooking the confluence of the River Taw and the River Torridge, on the north-west coast of the county of Devon, in England. A local committee established a lifeboat station at Appledore in 1825, operating the first lifeboat provided by the newly formed Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS). From 1831, the station was managed by the North Devon Humane Society. The present station, operated by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), opened in 2001. The station currently operates a Shannon-class All-weather lifeboat (ALB), 13-32 Ruth and David Arthur (ON 1339), on station since 2026, and a B-class (Atlantic 85) Inshore lifeboat (ILB), Glanely (B-861), on station since 2012.
