Yealm River Lifeboat Station was located on the east side of the River Yealm estuary at Newton Ferrers, a village approximately 6.4 nautical miles (11.9 km) south-east of Plymouth, on the south east coast of Devon. A lifeboat station was first established at Newton Ferrers in 1878 by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). Yealm River lifeboat station was closed in 1927, after Plymouth received a 60-foot Barnett-class twin-screw motor-powered lifeboat, which mean that it could cover the same area without the need for a lifeboat at the Yealm.
