The Grace Darling Museum was established by the RNLI in September 1938. It commemorates the life and times of lifeboat heroine Grace Darling who with her father rescued survivors from the shipwrecked SS Forfarshire in 1838.
Amongst the mementoes is the original boat used in the rescue along with biographies of Grace and William Darling's manuscript report and log book recording the rescue. Other personal relics include Grace Darling's shawls, books, letters, and awards. There are original oils and water colours of the wreck and rescue by distinguished artsists.
