Last Mersey class lifeboat retired
The RNLB 'Leonard Kent-RNLI 12-20'' has finally stood down from active service at Newcastle, County Down, marking its place in history as the last serving Mersey class lifeboat in the RNLI fleet. Five years after leaving Margate, the 'Leonard Kent' has now finally retired from life saving duties and was recently launched from Newcastle for the very last time, manned by the station’s own volunteer crew and bringing to an end the era of the RNLI’s Mersey class lifeboat. The 'Leonard Kent' was replaced by a B class inshore lifeboat at Margate in 2021 but continued to serve as the permanent station lifeboat at Newcastle, replacing its own Mersey class lifeboat which had been withdrawn. During its 30 years of service at Margate, the 'Leonard Kent' had responded to 419 service calls, saved 21 lives and aided 599 persons.
