The S.S. Cyclades
Ramsgate, Kent.—At 10.30 on the morning of the 16th of October, 1954, the coastguard reported that a vessel appeared to be aground in a dangerous position near North Goodwin buoy.
At 10.36 the life-boat Michael and Lily Davis put out in a rough sea, with a fresh south-westerly breeze blowing.
She made for the vessel in a flooding tide and found her to be the S.S.
Cyclades, of Piraeus. The Cyclades refloated, and the life-boat put two men on board to pilot her clear of the Goodwin Sands. When they had done so, the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 12.38.—Rewards, £9 8s. Qd..
