Modern RNLI boathouse.


Former RNLI boathouse, built in 1896 in order to accommodate RNLB Thomas Black, a new and larger lifeboat serving the area.


The boathouse was in use until 1922, when the station closed, the 'Thomas Black' was decommissioned, and responsibility for the southern coast of the Isle of Man was transferred to the Port St Mary station.


The boathouse was subsequently used as a garage for motor coaches before being converted into offices for a containerised shipping company. It was later converted into a private dwelling.


It is now a Registered Building, No 60, and was placed on the register on 24th February 1984.
