Fishing Boats
Bridlington, Yorkshire. At 2.45 on the afternoon of the 4th April, 1961, the harbour master informed the honorary secretary that six local fishing boats were still at sea. At 3.15, when the life- boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched with the second coxswain in command, the wind, which was from south-by-east, was of near gale force and the sea was very rough. It was rain- ing heavily and visibility was poor. The tide was two hours ebb. By 5.15 the six fishing boats had been safely escorted to the harbour and the life-boat returned to her station..
