Shoreham Harbour, Sussex.—At 5.23 on the evening of the 25th of June, 1951, the coastguard sent a message that a Brighton resident had reported a fishing boat broken down east of West Pier, Brighton. Another boat tried to tow her, unsuccessfully,so the fishing boat had made distress signals. At 6.30 the life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched..

In a rough sea with a strong south- south-west breeze blowing, she found the motor fishing boat Moby Dick, of Shoreham, with one person on board, two hundred yards south-east of the pier. Two life-boatmen boarded her and the life-boat towed her to Shore- ham, arriving at 9.0.—Property Sal- vage Case..
