Sheringham, Norfolk. At 7.15 on the morning of the 17th of April, 1959, the coxswain informed the honorary secretary that three local fishing boats were at sea in deteriorating weather.

The life-boat Foresters Centenary was launched at 7.47 in a rough sea, with a moderate easterly wind blowing and an ebb tide. The life-boat made at once for the fishing boat Boy Billy, which had been fishing off Weybourne and escorted her safely ashore. She then went to the help of the fishing boats Our Boys and June Rose, which had been fishing off Cromer, and escorted them both to Sheringham, which was reached at 8.58.

Rewards to the crew, £8 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £17 13s..
