Matthew Simpson - 1931 to 1933
Towards the end of 1931 the Sarah Jane Turner was replaced by another 37' self-righting lifeboat, the Matthew Simpson, which had been built in 1903 for the Berwick Lifeboat Station. This lifeboat was only launched on service once at Llandudno when on 29th July, 1933 a report was received that an aeroplane had crashed into the sea. Despite a thorough search nothing was found. Matthew Simpson only launched once on service.
