"ZETLAND is extremely important in both her design and area of usage.......

  ..........While ZETLAND is long retired, she is still amid the community that she served. Her existence is a physical reminder of past times when ‘going to sea’ was infinitely more dangerous than it is today. She is supported by an enthusiastic group who share experiences with visitors, keeping alive the history, both of the vessel and of sea rescue."
