I am compiling a database of lifeboats past and present. Thank you for the information on your website. I am a little confused about the City Of Glasgow as there appears to have been another steam powered lifeboat of that name at Gorleston from 1897. Is this a third lifeboat of this name or the City of Glasgow (No 1) from Harwich?

Hello. We have written a few songs for the RNLI. The details are below, 50% of all download proceeds go to the RNLI. (unfortunately the rest goes to help with our production costs!) We hope like the Album Atlantic Child and in particular the track RNLI “Rough Mix” (which may be liked by your younger supporters!) One song is 79p so we hope it won’t break the bank! (and the kids will love it!) Thanks Jon and Glenn http://www.kimbustion.com/atlantic-child.htm

Many, many thanks to Scott, Gavin, Chris and Red of the Harwich ILB for their help following Solo's engine failures this weekend in the proximity of the Felixtowe deep water channel- you're all stars guys! Also thanks to Peter's Coastguard team for their able assistance into Shotley marina and all at Thames MRCC.

This is to thank the crew and paramedic/doctor of the ILB who attended Bella Nova on 2 August 2009 at Walton Backwaters and arranged for my transfer to Ipswich Hospital by helicopter. Words cannot express my thanks to all concerned for your professionalism, and although I remember very little of the incident, by all accounts you guys, and the rest of the team, did a superb job. I am so grateful.

On 16th of August we grounded on the guard bank. RNLI crew helped us, set a sea anchor, we awaited the next flood. Lot of thanks.

Was doing some geneology searching and noted that one of the boats in your pictures was named "John Fison." Just curious about the history of this boat and the person its named after.

Hi I'm back! i have taken up sailing since i last posted a message and love the job you guys do. i have been down fishing on ha'penny pier and seen the lifeboat go out. it is always a great feeling when you see the boats leave the harbour. me and my family have always had alot to do with the rnli and my mum frequently purchases items from the rnli shop. i have also noticed a sticker in a Suffolk window saying "i've seen the harwich lifeboat!" you do a great job so keep up the good work. see ya!

I've been an avid fisherman (boat & shore) for over 20 odd years & now my 12 year old boy is getting into it. I always take him to the lifeboat stations & try to teach him about respecting the seas. My Father used to be on the trawlers out of Lowestoft & in more recent years owned his own trawler 'Golden Pennies' & a charter boat 'Smoothound' out of Brightlingsea. Thankfully we have never had cause to call you guys but would just like to let you know that your work does not go unappreciated! As a skipper, the RNLI is always at the forefront of my mind & it's a comfort to know that you can be relyed upon. I am also very pleased with the amount of RNLI Christmas cards I've received, it just goes to prove that people are thinking of you all. Keep up the excellent work & may 2008 bring you a safe yet 'easier' year

On behalf of Nathaniel Mullett and my partner Kelly Weeding, who were on board yacht "Bear Necessity", I would like to express my sincere thanks to you and the coastguards for your very helpful and patient assistance on Sunday 3rd June 07 at around 4am, (lost in fog!) Without your help we could have been in a lot of trouble! Many thanks again for the wonderful and appreciated help, by very dedicated people. We hope not to see or speak to you again! Kind Regards Nathaniel Mullett Kelly Weeding - "Bear Necessity"

I'd just like to say thank you to everybody at Harwich lifeboat station for my experience during our visit to the station on April 15th as part of my Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. It was a fantastic day and I've learnt alot. I'm now thinking of possibly becoming a crew member at Mersea!

As one who is married to a Harwich 'girl', we visit Harwich 2 or 3 times a year, and a visit to the Lifeboat Station is always a 'must'. I've only just discovered your website (I think it's new anyway), and I must say that I think it is a wonderful step forward. The RNLI always deserve the thanks and appreciation of all of us, including those who are many miles away from the sea,but going on the web and bringing to the forefront the everyday diary of this tremendous service can only enhance the reputation of a fine bunch of volunteers. Well done to all associated with the website, Harwich Lifeboat Station and the RNLI in general.

Great to see the reinstatement of the Maroons to alert the crew members. This clearly provides both visual and audio notification to all and sundry that a "Shout" is under way. Carry on the Great Work
