Contrasts between "William Riley" [1909 Rubie self-righting rowing], and the modern lifeboats.
To the left is an Atlantic 85 [B-855 'Eric C Guest'] and to the right a pair of KNRM [Dutch] boats. The smaller one reminds me of a Brede.

Will update when I can ID the two Dutch boats. OK, got the data ...
Smaller one is the "Riet en Jan Wijk" and the larger is "Antoinette"

KNRM - Koninkliijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij aka the Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution.
This was created by a fairly recent merger {in 1991}, but one of the original organisations was also formed in 1824 ! Happy 200th Birthday ...
