Success

Whitby, Yorkshire. On the morning of the 7th of March, 1958, the local motor fishing vessel Success was at the fishing grounds. During the day the weather became very bad, and at 2.25 in the afternoon the life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched. There was a rough sea, with a moderate gale blowing and a flooding tide. The life-boat stood by until the Success was safely in the harbour and reached her station at three o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £8 15s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 16s..
