The Mumbles Lifeboat Station (based in Mumbles, Swansea, Wales) opened in 1835 with a lifeboat that was funded and managed by Swansea Harbour Trustees and was known as Swansea Lifeboat Station.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mumbleslifeboat.org.uk/history.html )〕 The station was taken over by the RNLI in 1863 and moved to Mumbles in 1866. The station only officially became The Mumbles Lifeboat Station in 1904. The station currently operates a lifeboat and a lifeboat. ==History== When the station first opened, it did not have a boathouse and the lifeboat was stored under the cliffs. In 1866 the first boathouse was built and it was then replaced with a larger boathouse when a replacement lifeboat needed more room. A slipway was constructed for launching the lifeboat in 1888 and in 1897, Mumbles Railway and Pier Company constructed a new slipway for the RNLI at no cost to the institution. Another new slipway was built in 1916 and it was extended and had alterations made to it in 1922. In 1947 the lifeboat ''Edward, Prince of Wales'' and her crew of 8 were lost while assisting which had run aground on Sker Point.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/6581847.stm )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mumbles Lifeboat Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
