Barrow Lifeboat Station
Barrow Lifeboat Station is located off the south end of Roa Island, with a slipway down to the Piel Chanel, about 2½ miles south-east of Barrow-in-Furness. The current RLNI station building, manned by volunteers, opened in 2001 and houses a Tamar class all weather lifeboat and a D class Inshore lifeboat, serving serving Morecambe Bay and the Irish Sea. The first lifeboat station was established on Roa Island in 1864, originally known as Piel (Barrow), and renamed Barrow in 1889. Over the years, there have been several stations at different locations on the island, the current site was established in 1929[1].
