If you are ever around Tynemouth, the Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade Museum is well worth a visit. It’s situated near the Collingwood memorial and its breeches buoy apparatus covered most of the entrance to the Tyne. Quite a few vessels were wrecked on the rocks that are just inside the harbour walls, so a watch station was established using breeches buoy equipment for rescuing.
