Caldergate

Ramsgate, Kent. — At C.25 in the evening of the 23rd of April, 1952, the shore attendant on the East Pier reported a ship aground near the Quern Buoy on the Brake Sands, and at 6.39 the life-boat Prudential left her moorings in a smooth sea. She found the motor tanker Caldergate, of London, bound for Sandwich. The coxswain pointed out the correct channel to the master and the life- boat stood by her until she refloated under her own power. The tanker went on her way and the life-boat returned to her station arriving at 8.4.—Rewards, £6 13s..
