Fishing Cobles

Filey, Yorkshire. At 10.50 on the morning of the 13th of January, 1960, it was decided to launch the life-boat The Isa and Penryn Milsted to escort several local fishing cobles to harbour, as a gale was blowing from the east and causing a very rough sea. It was an hour and a half after low water. The life-boat was launched at 11.25 and returned to her station at 4.50, when the fishing fleet had safely entered the harbour. Rewards to the crew, £15 10s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £12 6s..
