A Yacht (1)

Llandudno, Caernarvonshire. At one o'clock on the afternoon of the 21st of July, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small yacht appeared to be in difficulties off the Little Orme. Shortly afterwards the yacht was seen to capsize, and the life- boat Annie Ronald and Isabella Forrest was launched at 1.12 in a fresh north- westerly breeze and a moderate sea. It was two hours after high water. The yacht's crew had managed to right her, and the life-boat then escorted her to moorings, reaching her station at 2.50.

Rewards to the crew, £8; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 5s..
