Those who served

Our history is at the heart of our service, and the volunteers who have served are what makes HM Coastguard so special.



We have been undertaking a project to identify all those who have served and have the records dating from 1883.



The role has changed a bit but the value of rescuing has not.






247 volunteers have served in Swanage Coastguard since 1883.



We have a little more work to do but will keep you posted on the project.
