Sunderland Lifeboat Station has two locations in the port city of Sunderland, which sits at the mouth of the River Wear, in the county of Tyne and Wear. A lifeboat was first stationed here in 1800 by the Sunderland Lifeboat Committee, followed by a succession of privately operated lifeboats. Overall control of all Sunderland lifeboats finally passed to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1871. The station at North Dock Marina currently operates both Inshore lifeboats; the B-class (Atlantic 85) Wolseley (B-817) since 2007, and a D-class (IB1) Thee Andy Cantle (D-879) since 2023.
