Lifeboat Monument, St Annes, Seaside monument in St Annes, England.
The Lifeboat Monument features a life-size sandstone figure of a lifeboatman standing on a rock-like pedestal, gazing toward the sea from South Promenade.
In December 1886, thirteen St Annes lifeboatmen perished during their mission to rescue the crew of the German vessel Mexico from treacherous sandbanks.
The monument bears inscriptions of all lost crew members, serving as a permanent record of maritime sacrifices made by local rescue services.
Located along South Promenade, the Grade II listed monument includes information panels detailing the events of the 1886 maritime disaster.
The memorial resulted from a disaster fund that raised £31,000, with £200 allocated specifically for constructing this monument, unveiled in May 1888.
