Mystery numbered boats

1964 possibly, as found amongst other photos taken that year. Unknown boats but where? St Margarets Hope? Are these old lifeboats as numbered 3 & 4?

Comments:
Looks like a ship's lifeboats (although you would think they would have the ship's name); obviously designed to carry a large number of bodies and to be slung from davits.

There is a mast and gaff (I think) in there too which would also be part of an early ship's lifeboat fittings/equipment.

I wid think they are ex royal navy, and not really lifeboats, but used for training cadets etc, probably being used by a sea cadet group now....
