Wbitby, Yorkshire. At 11.30 on the morning of the 9th of March, 1960, the life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth, after completing an engine trial, went to meet four local fishing vessels, which were returning to harbour in a strong east-south-easterly wind and a rough sea. It was two hours before high water.

The life-boat stood by until the fishing vessels had crossed the harbour bar safely and reached her station at two o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £10 10s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 16s..
