The Mumbles, Glamorganshire. At 1.10 on the afternoon of the 10th September, 1961, the honorary secre- tary was informed by the manager of a film company that the trawler Madre Dolorosa had grounded on the west bank about a hundred yards from the end of the west pier. The trawler, which was being used in a film production, had forty actors, technicians and crew on board. The life-boat William Gammon— Manchester and District XXX was launched in a fresh south-westerly wind and a smooth sea. It was low water.

The life-boat came alongside the trawler and took off thirty-two passengers, who were landed at the south dock jetty.

The life-boat reached her station at 4.55..
