The Humber Lightvessel

Humber, Yorkshire. At 9.10 on the morning of the 24th of November, 1958, the coastguard informed the coxswain superintendent of a request from the Superintendent of Trinity House, Great Yarmouth, for the life-boat to land the master of the Humber lightvessel, who had been injured. At 9.37 the life-boat City of Bradford III was launched at low water in a slight sea with a gentle north-westerly breeze blowing. The weather was overcast with poor visi- bility. The master, who had damaged his ribs in a fall, was landed at Grimsby, and the life-boat reached her station at three o'clock. Paid permanent crew.

Additional rewards to the crew, £4.

Refunded to the Institution by Trinity House..
