Ocean Pride

Amble, Northumberland. — On the morning of the 18th of March, 1955, anxiety was felt for the safety of the local fishing coble Ocean Pride, which was still at sea with a crew of three in worsening weather, and at 11.57 the life-boat City of Bradford II put out.

The sea was rough, a strong northerly breeze was blowing, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat searched in a north-easterly direction and found the Ocean Pride about 1.50. She escorted her to Amble and reached her station again at 3.30.—Rewards, £10 10s..
