PH294, also known locally as The Lifeboat, is a derelict lifeboat and commercial fishing vessel located on the mudflats of Holes Bay in Poole Harbour, Dorset. Originally an American-built lifeboat, she was later converted for commercial fishing and registered at the Port of Plymouth. She was eventually abandoned in Poole Harbour and her wreck has remained for the last 35 years.
