Boulmer, Northumberland. On the afternoon of the 12th July, 1961, con- cern was felt for two local fishing cobles Sea Flower and Brighter Dawn, which were overdue from fishing. The crews of other boats had reported on returning that weather conditions were bad, fog being the main cause for concern. There was a light south-south-easterly breeze with a moderate sea. At 1.41 the life- boat Clarissa Langdon was launched.

The tide was flooding. The life-boat found the Sea Flower and Brighter Dawn a mile and a half north of Amble. She escorted them back to Boulmer and reached her station at 2.57..
