To the right is the Scarborough Lifeboat Station. The boathouse was built in 1940. The painting depicts shipwrecks and these tragedies eventually led to the development of a lifeboat service. The station was moved to the harbour area in 1821. From 1801 to 1984 there were 567 launches of the Scarborough Lifeboat and 441 lives were saved. A total of 16 lifeboatmen were lost during this period.
