A lifeboat was first stationed here by the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS) in 1852, which became the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1854.

The pilot, following engine malfunction, radioed his base with his intention to eject somewhere over the Wash.
