Image showing the The Esme Anderson, a Trent class lifeboat and the Bob Turnbull, an inshore, Atlantic 75 clasas, second generation Rigid Inflatable life boat. Both craft are opperated by/from Ramsgate Lifeboat Station The Trent class lifeboat is an all-weather lifeboat operated by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) from 30 stations around the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland to provide coverage up to 50 miles (80 km) out to sea. Introduced to service in 1994, the class is named after the River Trent, the second longest river wholly in England. The Atlantic 75 is part of the B Class of lifeboats that serve the shores of the United Kingdom as a part of the RNLI inshore fleet. The Atlantic 75 is the second generation Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) in the B Class series, developed from the Atlantic 21. These boats gradually replaced the Atlantic 21 fleet, but have now been superseded by the new Atlantic 85 lifeboat.
