5.0 based on 66 reviews
This Volunteer Life Brigade maritime museum details the history of the first Volunteer Life Brigade to be formed in the United Kingdom and her colonies on December 5th 1864 after the loss of 32 souls within sight of the shore when the schooner "Friendship" and the steamer "Stanley" came to grief on the Black Midden rocks at the mouth of the river Tyne during a South Easterly gale on the afternoon and early evening of the 24th November 1864. The museum contains many unique artefacts salvaged or donated from vessels wrecked along our shore and historic photographs and paintings showing the role of the brigade since it was formed. The brigade is still fully active providing search and rescue services along the coast from the Tyne to Seaton Sluice and upriver to the Tyne bridges and further if required. The brigade are the eyes and ears for the coastguard and are a declared search and rescue facility to HM Coastguard.

I visited here with my wife and 2 children and despite having last visited around 25 years ago still really enjoyed it. Free entreance with a donations box for a contribution so please remember to bring some cash to support the lifeboat. There's a couple of things for small children (ring the bell, climb the stairs to the watch house) and a lot of interesting artifacts for adults. Probably 30-60mins visit.

Kids had great fun on park then we went in the maze at £2 per person was fantastic fun for both kids and adults plus a treasure map which you had to collect stamps on way through maze to get the treasure at the end chocolate coins. Great day out see you soon .
