Ocean Pride

Porthdinllaen, Caernarvonshire. — At 7.33 on the evening of the 15th of May, 1951, the coastguard reported a fishing boat burning flares off Caernarvon Bar.

At 8.0 the life-boat Charles Henry Ashley was launched. There was a ground swell, with a light north-easterly breeze blowing. She found the fishing boat Ocean Pride, of Liverpool, at anchor with a crew of two, fifty yards east-south-east of the bar fairway buoy.

Two life-boatmen boarded her andweighed the anchor; and the life-boat then towed her to Trevor, reaching her station again at 12.45 the next morning.
