Craft type?[edit]

Is Blyth independent Lifeboat also an offshore vessel? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.243.130.14 (talk • contribs) 16:44, 13 February 2009

Weak article[edit]

This needs a lot more work. Firstly there is no history? Just episodic sections. Secondly there is no explanation as to why the Caister boat remains independent of the RNLI. Thirdly there is mention of the RNLI in the article which contradicts the notion that this it is independent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.6.112 (talk • contribs) 12:06, 26 November 2010

Does the boat really save lives? 87.115.65.125 (talk) 23:12, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Caister has two boats and they are used to rescue people (one can never tell if they would have died otherwise).Jahbulon-13 (talk) 20:20, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Conspiracy theory/RNLI and Freemasonry[edit]

As far as I can tell, the Freemason religion now runs Caister Lifeboat, as it has RNLI for many years, and is doubtless responsible for the callous money centred decision to close Caister.

RNLI's status as a highly questionable user of charitable status was first made clear to me when working at Gorleston's Ocean Rooms in 1979. Jahbulon-13 (talk) 20:25, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So the Freemasons control the RNLI, and forced the closure of the RNLI Caister station, only to control it independent of the RNLI? Yeah, that makes sense. Nick Cooper (talk) 09:10, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Freemasonry is a religion: it's not supposed to make sense. How else can one justify RNLI's decision to close the life saving Caister life-boat service, putting lives at risk, other than by reference to the Freemason god, Jahbulon? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jahbulon-13 (talk • contribs) 20:50, 24 December 2013‎

The reason for the closure of the RNLI station is clearly stated on this page - application of conspiracist circular logic is not needed. Nick Cooper (talk) 07:21, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sinking of the Zephyr[edit]

This section is copied word for word from the James Haylett page: As it is there in full we only need a summary here. And is that the only rescue the station carried out? A recent episode of "Coast" said they held some kind of record for rescues; does anyone have more information on the station's history? Xyl 54 (talk) 22:46, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
