From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
The Zetland was a lifeboat in Redcar, England, and is the oldest lifeboat in the world which still exists. It was put in Redcar in 1802. In 1858, the lifeboat was given to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). The vessel was damaged in 1864, and was to be scrapped - however, following protest it was given to the town's people. Today, it is in its own museum.
