Lifeboats Gallery

The Scarborough Maritime Heritage Centre has a collection of over 50,000 photographs of boats, trawlers and ships of all shapes and sizes.  The photographs were collected and donated to us by Mr George Coull of Aberdeen and Mr George Scales of Scarborough. They have been digistised by our volunteers.  The galleries on this website contain a small sample of the collection so if you do not find the vessel you are looking for please contact us.
