RNLB H F Bailey II (ON 714) was the third lifeboat stationed at Cromer to bear this name, but the first of the four to bear a number in its name.[1] This lifeboat was sent to replace H F Bailey (ON 694). Coxswain Henry Blogg of the Cromer is often referred to as "the greatest of the lifeboatmen"[2][3] was said to have disliked this lifeboat having preferred the previous lifeboat H F Bailey ON 695.
