R.N.L.I. Elizabeth Newton leaving Hartlepool.
Elizabeth Newton had been built by J Samuel White of Cowes, Isle of Wight. Named in memory of the wife of Captain Richard Newton of Darlington, half of the £10,000 cost had been met by a legacy left by the late Mrs Newton.
Officially named by the Marchioness of Londonderry on August 23, 1924, the new motor lifeboat was stationed at Hartlepool until 1939, when she joined the RNLI reserve fleet, serving at several North-east stations until May 1953.
