Denrow

Newhaven, Sussex. At 11.10 on the morning of the 19th of April, 1960, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the fishing vessel Denrow of Shore- ham, which had left Newhaven at 9.52 the morning before to fish to the west- ward of Brighton, had not returned.

At 11.30 the life-boat Kathleen Mary was launched in a moderate north- easterly wind and a rough sea. It was low water. The fishing vessel, which had a crew of two, was found nine miles south-west of Newhaven with her engine broken down. The life-boat took her in tow and reached her station at 2.45.
