        In 1949 the RNLI commissioned the Lifeboat, official number ON 873. The boat was funded by Miss Elizabeth Elmy of London. She had requested it was named 'George Elmy' In remembrance of her late brother George. The newly built lifeboat arrived at Seaham Harbour in January 1950. Rescuing 20 persons in 12 years. On the night of 17th November 1962 while returning to the safety of the harbour after going to the aid of the fishing coble 'The Economy', a freak wave overwhelmed the lifeboat and all but one of those on board perished. After repairs, the boat was returned to service for another 10yrs before being sold for 600 to begin a new life as a fishing vessel. In May 2009 it was sold on eBay. The East Durham Heritage Group bought it with the aid of a loan from local fisherman Tommy Smith. The George Elmy arrived back in Seaham 15th May 2009 for restoration. June 2013 the boat was fully restored.
