The Keel Boat Courage

Scarborough, Yorkshire.—During the morning of the 18th of March, 1951, the weather got worse, and there was anxiety for the safety of the local keel boat Courage, at sea with a crew of five.

At 1.15 in the afternoon the life-boat E.C.J.R. was launched. In a heavy breaking sea with a moderate north- easterly breeze, she came up with the Courage three miles to the east-north- east. She escorted her to the harbour and reached her station again at 2.45.
