A Fishing Boat

North Sunderland, Northumberland.

At 12.40 on the afternoon of the 10th of November, 1958, a fishing boat was seen approaching the harbour in a rough sea with a fresh to strong northerly wind blowing and a flood tide. On the bar there was a confused sea and swell, and it was decided to launch the life-boat Grace Darling toescort the local fishing boat into harbour. When this was done the life- boat returned to her station, arriving at 1.5. Rewards to the crew £7 10s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £6 13s..
