Description
The Lifeboat Monument, located approximately 100 metres southeast of St Annes Pier, is a Grade II listed structure commemorating the crew of St Anne's lifeboat. Erected around 1890 by W.B. Rhind of Edinburgh, it honors the 13 crew members who drowned in 1886 while attempting to rescue the crew of the German barque "Mexico," which was wrecked off Southport on December 9, 1886. The monument is made of sandstone and features an ashlar plinth that is approximately 2 metres square and 2 metres high, with a tapered base. Above this, a tall rock pedestal rises to about 3 metres high, topped with an over-life-size statue of a lifeboatman. A lettered panel on the south side of the pedestal lists the names of the crew who lost their lives and notes that the monument was erected by public subscription. The east side of the base is inscribed with "W.B. RHIND Sc EDINBUGH."
