Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford. At 10.2 on the night of the 30th of August, 1960, the Irish naval authorities at Cobh informed the honorary secretary that the motor vessel Keizersveer of Amsterdam had an Irish fishing boat intow about a mile and a half east of Tuskar Rock and was proceeding to- wards Rosslare Harbour at four knots.

As she had no large-scale charts on board, the assistance of the life-boat was requested to take over the tow. The life-boat Mary Stanford, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 10.25 on the ebb tide in a gentle to moderate north-westerly breeze and a slight sea. The life-boat came up with the Keizersveer near the South Shear buoy and took over the tow of the fishing boat Two Boys of Wexford, which had engine trouble. The life- boat returned to her station at 11.40.

Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, 13s..
