Candourity
STANDING BY MOTOR VESSEL IN GALE Barry Dock, Glamorganshire. At 6.40 on the evening of the 8th January, 1962, the coastguard informed the coxswain that the master of the motor vessel Candourity of London had asked for the life-boat to stand by his vessel, which was aground one mile southwest of Breaksea Point. The life-boat Rachel and Mary Evans was launched at 6.55 in a strong west-south-westerly gale and a very rough sea. It was two hours before high water. The life-boat found the Candourity with her engine room flooded and stood by until tugs and her sister ship had towed her to a safe anchorage. The life-boat then returned to her station, which she reached at 4.15 in the morning..
