A lifeboat typically consists of several key components: the hull, which provides buoyancy and stability; the deck, which offers a safe area for passengers and crew; the seats or benches for occupants; and safety equipment like oars, life vests, and flares. Additionally, it may include a canopy for protection against the elements, a drainage system to remove water, and a means of propulsion, such as oars or an engine. Each part is designed to ensure the safety and functionality of the lifeboat in emergency situations.

The main lifeboat in East Anglia is typically referred to as the "RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) lifeboat." Various stations operate within the region, with notable lifeboats including the All-Weather Lifeboat (AWB) and the Inshore Lifeboat (ILB). Specific names may vary by station, such as the "Margaret and John Morrow" in Lowestoft. Each lifeboat is named in honor of benefactors or local figures.
Lifeboat number 1 carried 5 passengers and 7 crew members, making it a total of 12 people. The lifeboat's capacity was about 45. It was later speculated that the 5 passengers, since they were mostly all from one family, had bribed Officer Murdoch (the officer who launched the boat) to give them a lifeboat all to themselves. This family, the Duff-Gordons, later paid all the crew members in the lifeboat for their lost wages and supplies when the ship sank, and thus people took this as a bribe. In truth, there was no bribery, it was simply kindness taken out of context by the media, and Officer Murdoch launched the boat because the ship was starting to sink fast, and no other people were nearby. He had to get the next lifeboat ready. So, lifeboat 1 had the fewest people, with 12 passengers and crew.
