The Humber Lightvessel

Humber, Yorkshire.—At 3.50 on the afternoon of the 5th of May, 1954, the Superintendent of Trinity House at Great Yarmouth asked if the life-boat would take a sick man from the Humber lightvessel to Grimsby, as no other boat was available. At 4.5 the life-boat City of Bradford III was launched in a rough sea with a strong south-south-west breeze blowing. She took the patient on board, landed him at Grimsby, where an ambulance was waiting, and reached her station again at ten o'clock.—Paid Permanent Crew.

Expenses refunded to the Institution by Trinity House..
