Buxey

Clacton-on-Sea, Essex. — At 2.59 in the afternoon, on the 23rd of March, 1951, the coastguard telephoned that H.M. Customs at Brightlingsea had reported a yacht apparently in diffi- culties and dragging her anchor off Colne Point. At 3.0 the life-boat Edward Z. Dresden was launched in a rough sea with a west-north-west breeze blowing. She found the yacht Buxey, with a crew of three, and towed her to Brightlingsea. At 8.0 that night she arrived back at her station.—Property Salvage Case..
