is an important survivor from Irvine’s past. Built by the Thames Ironworks Co. in Millwall, London in 1898 and soon after took up station in Irvine, to remain in lifeboat service until 1914. An example of a double-ended, self righting sail and pull lifeboat, and relied on wind and muscle power for propulsion. This would have been extremely strenuous and dangerous work for the crew in bad weather.
There had been a lifeboat station in Irvine since 1834, situated at the mouth of the Harbour close to where the Pilot House now stands. An increase in the number of shipwrecks led local shipowners to petition for the purchase of Irvine’s first boat “for rendering help in cases of shipwreck”. Jane Anne was Irvine’s fifth lifeboat, built with a legacy from a Southgate man named Mr Nicholls, who requested that it be named after his mother.
During its time at Irvine, Jane Anne was mainly manned by the locally renowned Sinclair family. It participated in 7 rescues saving 12 lives. The station at Troon, however, was able to operate more easily in bad weather and the Irvine station closed in 1914. It saw service at Falmouth until 1928, when then withdrawn following the introduction of motorised boats.
On 4th September 1928, was sold at auction to Mr E.F. Cooper for £35. After this, was converted into a cabin cruiser, but little is known of its life at this time. Mysteriously discovered in a wood near Taunton, Somerset, in the 1980s, before being returned to an appropriate home at the Scottish Maritime Museum in 1989
Transferred to Irvine with financial assistance from the Local Museums Purchase Fund.
