Smiling Morn

Aldeburgh, Suffolk.—On the 15th of July, 1955, the No. 2 life-boat Lucy Lovers was bound for her station from Oulton Broad following a routine survey. About 1.10 in the afternoon, when she had reached a position one mile south of Southwold, she found the fishing boat Smiling Morn, of Southwold, broken down, with one man on board. The sea was smooth, there was a light easterly breeze and the tide was flooding. At the request of the fisherman the life-boat towed the Smiling Morn to Southwold, which she reached at 1.45. She then continued the passage to her station, arriving at 3.15.—Rewards to the crew, in addition to passage money, £3 2s. 6d..
