Dungeness Lifeboat Station in Kent guards the Channel from Folkestone to Rye Bay and today operates a Mersey class 'fast' carriage lifeboat Pride and Spirit which came to Dungeness in 1992, it was a generous gift from Eric and Jean Cass. Shore helpers are required to launch and recover the lifeboat, the station also had the country's last lady launchers.
In 1940 the Dungeness Lifeboat Charles Cooper Henderson was also one of 19 lifeboats that took part in the evacuation of forces from Dunkirk.
