Hi,
according to my reference books, George Urie Scott ( 48-004) was never stationed at Mumbles.
It was built in 1969, and was the full 48'6" length on the steel hull. It was stationed at Lochinver from 1969 to 1978, Rosslare Harbour 1979 to 1984, back at Lochinver from 85 to 89 before spending a year in the relief fleet and then being sold out of service. It was last seen in October 2005, unaltered from it's service appearance, in use as a trip boat at Spaarnham in Holland.
From 1974 to 1985 the Mumbles station boat was a 47 foot Watson class, wooden hull rather than the steel hull of the Solent.
This boat was built in 1957, Official No. 940, and was "RNLB Pentland (Civil Service No 31)". The name indicates that this was the 31st lifeboat donated by the Civil Service Lifeboat Fund.
It was stationed atThurso 1957 to 1970, Releif fleet 1970 to 74, Mumbles 1974 to 85, Workington 1986 until 1990 and sold out of service in 1991. She was last seen in March 2005, still carrying the name PENTLAND and was unaltered and in use as a pleasure boat at Dickies boat yard, Bangor.
You could try dropping them an email to see if she is still there, the web site is
