Josue III

Ramsgate, Kent.—At 7.34 on the evening of the 20th of July, 1951, the coastguard reported a yacht aground off the East Pier. At 7.42 the life- boat Prudential left her moorings.

The sea was smooth with a light easterly breeze blowing. She found the French yacht Josue III, with a crew of six, and stood by her until she refloated. Then she towed her to Ramsgate arriving at 9.40 that night.
