RNLI crew in Hartlepool have wished their lifeboat well - as she prepares to take up duties on the Isle of Man.
The station's Trent class all weather lifeboat Betty Huntbatch has left County Durham and is currently in Poole in Dorset.
Over her time at the station, she launched 392 times, helping 604 people and spending 747 hours at sea.
She's due to come to Douglas as the station's temporary lifeboat as the RNLI talks to the government about locations for a replacement lifeboat station.
