History
The JANET HOYLE (ON 604) is an early example of the Liverpool class of a Sailing and Pulling lifeboat. Built in 1909, she was stationed at Ayr from 1910 until 1932 when the station closed. She was sold out of service in 1933 .
The Walton & Frinton lifeboat was launched on 9 July 2009 to assist the historic lifeboat which had sent a Mayday call reporting they were leaking badly near the entrance to the River Crouch. A tow was attached and pumping was required all the way to Brightlingsea where JANET HOYLE was beached.
The Thames Ironworks Heritage Trust acquired the vessel in June 2013 for restoration.
