Flamborough, Yorkshire. At 9.36 on the morning of the 18th of May, 1960, the coxswain informed the honorary secretary that as the local fishing coble Margaret Ann was still at sea in a fresh north-easterly wind he was going to the north landing to look at condi- tions outside. At ten o'clock he reported to the honorary secretary that the weather was worsening and advised launching. At 10.30 the life-boat Lucy Lovers, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at high water in a rough sea. She found the coble half a mile east of the coastguard signal station. The cosxwain advised her skipper to proceed to Bridlington bay for shelter, as it was impossible to make the north landing. The life-boat then escorted the vessel into the bay before returning to her station at 1.5.
