Bridlington, Yorkshire. On the morning of the 6th of January, 1958, the local small open fishing coble Nancy was at sea in deteriorating weather. At 11.35 the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched with the second coxswain in command in a rough sea. There was a fresh south- south-easterly gale and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the Nancy, with a crew of two, and escorted her to harbour, arriving at 1.30.
