A Fishing Vessel (1)

Workington, Cumberland. At 7.5 on the evening of the 24th of September, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a fishing vessel had broken down off Seascale nine miles south-east of St. Bees. The life- boat Manchester and Salford XXIX was launched at 7.33 in a fresh westerly breeze with a rough sea and an ebbing tide. The life-boat found the fishing vessel with one man on board and towed her to harbour. She reached her station at three o'clock in the morning.

Rewards to the crew, £15 17s.; re- wards to the helpers on shore, 19s..
