What is recorded here
Second Tenby Lifeboat House stood at Castle Sands during the 19th Century, serving as a lifeboat station where desperate waves met human determination. The brutal Pembrokeshire coast demanded quick thinking and strong muscles, pushing volunteers toward the water whenever danger appeared. That simple structure represented the boundary between local life and endless sea, preserving memory through action rather than decoration.
