Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.—At 12.45 early on the morn- ing of the 18th of July, 1955, the Great Yarmouth police reported that the motor pleasure boat Golden Galleon, with one hundred and twenty-two passengers on board, had run aground in Breydon water. The tide was ebb- ing fast, and at 1.45 the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched with a police inspector on board. There was a moderate south-easterly breeze and a slight swell. The life-boat found the Golden Galleon high and dry on a mud-bank. A small boat ferried seventy-five of the passengers to the life-boat, and another boat landed the others. The life-boat took the seventy-five people to Great Yarmouth and reached her station again at 4.26.
