Dover Lifeboat Station is located at New Marina Curve in Dover, a town and major ferry port, Port of Dover, which sits facing Calais, France, across the Strait of Dover, on the south-east coast of the English county of Kent.
A lifeboat station was first established at Dover in 1837, by the Dover Humane and Shipwreck Institution (DHSI). Management of the station was transferred to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1855.
The station currently operates a Severn-class All-weather lifeboat, 17-09 City of London II (ON 1220), on station since 1997.
