RNLI Llandudno's 'Andy Pearce' Mersey Class Lifeboat

In late September 2017, Llandudno's new Shannon Class Lifeboat William F Yates is due to arrive on station and will be housed in the new boathouse currently being completed at Craig-y-Don near the Little Orme. Within a few weeks of this occurring, Llandudno's current Mersey class carriage launched lifeboat Andy Pearce will be withdrawn from station marking the end of a long history of the town's lifeboats being pulled through the town to be launched by horses, manpower or tractor. Llandudno is the now the only All-weather lifeboat station in the British Isles with a lifeboat kept in the centre of a town. To mark this historic change, TV Conwy have kindly produced a video which we hope you will enjoy. We are very grateful to TV Conwy for their support with this project.
