The volunteer crews give up their time and comfort to carry out rescues in difficult and often dangerous conditions.
Having celebrated over 200 years as a lifeboat station, Hartlepool RNLI operates two lifeboats – an all weather Trent class lifeboat and a B class Atlantic 75 lifeboat. The crews have been presented with 23 awards for gallantry, including one Gold Medal.
