Wicklow, Co. Wicklow. At 8.40 on the morning of the 14th August, 1961.

the coxswain learnt that a motor fishing boat was on the Wolves rocks three miles south-south-west of Wicklow Head and was in immediate danger. At 8.50, when the life-boat J. W. Archer was launched on the flooding tide, there was a moderate north-westerly breeze and the sea was choppy. The life-boat made for the position given and found the fishing boat Ros Sennan ashore on the west side of the Wolves rocks with two other fishing boats standing by. The life-boat went in as close to the rocks as she could and a tow rope was passed. After about twelve minutes, with the engines of the life-boat and of the fishing boat both going full ahead, the Ros Sennan re- floated undamaged. She continued on her way, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at eleven o'clock..
