Barry Dock Lifeboat Station (based in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales) opened in 1901. In 1922, the station received its first motor lifeboat and in 1973 the station received a second lifeboat (which was eventually withdrawn from service in 1979)
The station then received a series of three different Arun-class lifeboats. The station currently operates a Trent-class lifeboat called Inner Wheel II.
Coxswain Swarts died while working on the Watson-class lifeboat Rachel and Mary Evans when he fell to the concrete floor of the boathouse.
