live nearby so the time of launch can take as little as 10 minutes and this
readiness is maintained 24 hours a day,
365 days a year.

arrived at Fleetwood at 6pm on Wednesday October 4th 1989. She is powered by
two 500 horse power diesels giving a top speed of 18 knots in any sea state.
After a period of intensive crew training she was placed on service at 2pm on
October 15th. She has a steel hull 47feet long and although primarily designed
to be launched from a slipway, the William Street is moored afloat in the pen
at Fleetwood.
