HM Coastguard Peterhead

Welcome to the HM Coastguard Peterhead SAR facebook page.The HM Coastguard have over a 200 year history, where in 1698 officers patrolled the shores on horse back to catch smugglers. By 1743 almost half of the tea was illegally imported into the UK. In the 1920's the focus of the Coastguard had changed to saving lives at sea and on the coast and maintaining safety in major shipping lanes. No matter the day or time The UK Coastguard service is always watching and waiting to protect and save lives not only on our shorelines but far over the horizons.
