The museum houses the Zetland, the oldest extant lifeboat. Built by Henry Greathead as The Original in 1802, the Zetland was a clinker-built, double-ended rowing boat requiring a crew of 13-20 to power her. Crewed by the fishermen and local pilots of Redcar she saw service for some 80 years, saving 500 lives.
