TVLB, based from our Watch House Museum in Tynemouth, operate a coastal rescue team covering the North Tyneside area, as well at the tidal reaches of the River Tyne. We rely entirely on voluntary donations to ensure our team of volunteers have access to high quality equipment and training – allowing them to provide a fast and efficient response to a wide range of incidents. Our free-to-visit museum chronicles the areas rich history of maritime rescue, and acts as our basis for our outreach work focused on water and sea safety awareness.
