Shoreham Harbour, Sussex. At 9.25 on the evening of the 2nd of December, 1959, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a vessel six miles south-west-by-south of Shoreham was making distress signals. At 9.35 the life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched in a south-westerly wind of nearly gale force. The sea was rough and the tide half ebb. The life- boat found the steam tug Useful of Newhaven with a crew of four. She was shipping a great deal of water, and after a tow rope had been connected to the life-boat she was taken into Shore- ham harbour, where firemen pumped the water out of her. Afterwards she was put in a safe berth, and the life- boat returned to her station, arriving at 12.30. Property salvage case..
