Bridlington, Yorkshire. At 9.30 on the morning of the 28th of December, 1960, the harbour master informed the honorary secretary that four motor fishing vessels had left harbour at three o'clock. The weather had deteriorated, and as there was now a south-by-east- gale with a very rough sea, it was decided to launch the life-boat about the time the boats were expected. On the flood tide at 12.5 the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched, and at 12.45 she escorted the Providence into harbour. She then stood by until the other three fishing vessels were sighted, when she put out to meet them and escort them into harbour. The life-boat was rehoused at 3.20..
