St Agnes Lifeboat Station (based in St Agnes, Cornwall, UK) opened in 1968.[1] The station's lifeboats have been sponsored by BBC's Blue Peter programme, mostly being named Blue Peter IV.[2]
In 1978, and again in 2005, the Duke of Kent visited the station in his role as president of the RNLI.[3]
The station has always been an inshore lifeboat station, and currently operates a D-class (IB1) lifeboat called Blue Peter IV.
