Bridlington, Yorkshire. At 8.30 on the morning of the 13th of November, 1959, the coxswain told the honorary secretary that some local motor fishing vessels, which were out in a full south- south-easterly gale and a very rough sea, would be reaching harbour when the tide was about half flood. At 9.15, about low water, the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched.

She made her way through heavy breaking seas into deeper water off the harbour, where she stood by until the fishing fleet had entered harbour. She then returned to her station, arriving at two o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £12 5s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £12..
