Mary Anne

Ferryside, Carmarthenshire.—At about 1.30 in the afternoon of the 8th of March, 1948, the Tenby coastguard telephoned that a bod'y had been washed ashore at Ferryside that morn- ing, and the motor fishing vessel Mary Anne, of Swansea, bound for Tenby, was reported to be missing with her crew of two. At 1.45 the motor life- boat William Maynard was launched in a fresh south-westerly breeze with a heavy ground sea. She made an exten- sive search, but found only the wreck- age of the Mary Anne. There was no trace of the second man. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 4.30.—• Rewards, £17 195..
