New Brighton, Cheshire. At 10.18 on the night of the 18th of July, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a collision had occurred between the coaster Denbigh Coast and the s.s. Irish Maple one mile east of the Formby light float, and that the Denbigh Coast was settling. The life-boat Norman B. Corlett put out at 10.30 in a moderate westerly breeze with a slight sea and rain squalls. It was two hours after high water. When the life-boat reached the position it was found that the crew of ten of the Denbigh Coast had been rescued by other vessels. A ship's boat was taken in tow by the life-boat, which arrived back at her station at three o'clock in the morning.
