Humber, Yorkshire. At 4.4 on the afternoon of the 26th of July, 1959, the coastguard told the coxswain super- intendent that the cabin cruiser Camorant of Hull had broken down three miles north of Withernsea. The life-boat City of Bradford III was launched at 4.17 in a moderate swell.

There was a gentle easterly wind and it was low water. The life-boat reached the position and found the Camorant aground. Her owner was transferred to the life-boat, which then took the cabin cruiser in tow to Spurn Point.

The life-boat reached her station at 9.15. Paid permanent crew..
