Rosemary

Scarborough, Yorkshire. As the weather grew worse on the morning of the 5th of December, 1958, some anxiety was felt for the local fishing coble Rosemary, which was at sea, and at 10.30 it was decided to launch the life-boat/. G. Graves of Sheffield. There was a rough sea, a fresh north-easterly wind was blowing, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the Rosemary five miles north-east of the castle and escorted her safely into harbour, arriving at 12.50. This was the first occasion on which a life-boat of the Oakley type had been called out on service. Rewards to the crew, £10 10s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 12s..
