The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 1865, Napoléon III créé la Société centrale de Sauvetage des Naufragés. La station de Cayeux est créée en 1876. En 1879, l'abri du canot de sauvetage est construit place de l'Amiral Courbet, mais le succès grandissant des bains de mer et l'essor de la station balnéaire obligent le déplacement de cet abri en 1913. Le nouvel abri est construit à l'identique avec les matériaux du précédent, sous la surveillance des Ponts et Chaussées. C'est une construction en briques couverte d'un toit à deux pans.

In 1865, Napoleon III created the Central Society for the Rescue of Castaways. The Cayeux station was created in 1876. In 1879, the lifeboat shelter was built on Place de l'Amiral Courbet, but the growing success of sea bathing and the development of the seaside resort necessitated the relocation of this shelter in 1913. The new shelter was built identically with materials from the previous one, under the supervision of the Bridges and Roads Department. It is a brick construction covered with a two-slope roof.
