Dunmore East, Co. Waterford. At 6.25 on the evening of the 9th of June, 1959, the coastguard informed the hon- orary secretary that a small fishing boat needed help off Brownstown Head. At 6.30 the life-boat Annie Blanche Smith put out in calm weather and found the fishing boat. Her crew of three were trying to recover their lobster pots, but there was a rough sea at the head and they had found themselves in difficulties.

The life-boat escorted the boat to Tramore harbour and reached her station at 8.45. Rewards to the crew, £6 ; reward to the helper on shore, 14s..
