St Mary's Lifeboat Station is situated in St Mary's Harbour, Isles of Scilly and has been an important station for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution since the service began in 1837, however without a service between 1855 and 1874.

History

A lifeboat station was provided in 1874 at a cost of £280 ({{Inflation|UK|280|1874|r=-2|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}).{{Inflation-fn|UK}} In 1899 this was replaced by a new station at Carn Thomas with a slipway, at a cost of £1,500 ({{Inflation|UK|1500|1899|r=-2|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}).{{Inflation-fn|UK}} In 1902 the slipway was extended by {{convert|40|ft|m}}[1] by Robert Hicks[2] to enable the lifeboat to be launched at any state of the tide.

The lifeboat house was adapted in 1914 to receive a new motor lifeboat, but this didn't arrive on the station until 1919.

Since the arrival of the Robert Edgar in 1981, the lifeboat has been moored in the harbour, rather than the lifeboat house.
