Sheringham, Norfolk. At 1.45 on the afternoon of the 16th of April, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the local fishing boat Windsor Rose was trying to make har- bour in worsening weather conditions.

At 2.15 the life-boat Foresters Centenary was launched in a north-easterly wind of near gale force and a rough sea.

The tide was half ebb. One of the fishing boat's crew, who was suffering from exposure, was transferred to the life-boat, and the second coxswain was put aboard to replace him. The life-boat then escorted the Windsor Rose into harbour and reached her station at 2.50. Rewards to the crew, £9 ; re- wards to the helpers on shore, £19 4s..
