Teesmouth, Yorkshire. At 7.44 on the morning of the 3rd of February, 1958, the South Gare coastguard told the honorary secretary that the motor fishing vessel Winnyfold of Grimsby was ashore two miles east of the South Gare breakwater. At 8.44 the life- boat John and Lucy Cordingley was launched in a moderate swell, with a moderate westerly wind blowing and an ebb tide. The life-boat found the Winnyfold ashore on a slag reef with a list of forty-five degrees. Her crew of four had landed from a rubber dinghy. The life-boat stood by until the tide made, when with some difficulty the coxswain was able to put some members of his crew aboard the Winny- fold. A line was made fast and the fishing vessel was towed to the river.

She was making water and the tow rope parted several times before she was safely beached on Brand Sands. The life-boat reached her station at one o'clock. Property Salvage Case.
