TWO MEN FROM LONGSHORE BOAT LANDED Lowestoft, Suffolk. At 2.28 on the afternoon of the 22nd January, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the Lowestoft trawler Unda had picked up two men from the longshore boat Dulcie Doris of Lowestoft and had taken the boat in tow.

The Undoes position was three miles east of East Barnard buoy, and because of the severe weather conditions the help of the life-boat was requested. At 2.40 the life-boat Michael Stephens left her moorings in a west-northwesterly gale and a rough sea. It was two hours before low water. The lifeboat reached the position given but could not find the trawler. A message was then received that the trawler's tow had parted and that the Dulcie Doris had drifted north with the trawler standing by. The life-boat set a course to the north and found both vessels about two miles west of Gorton lightvessel.

She went alongside the trawler and took the two men from the longshore boat on board. She then went alongside the longshore boat, and when a tow line had been connected took the Dulcie Doris in tow. About half a mile east-south-east of the South-East Gorton buoy the Dulcie Doris sank. The life-boat reached her station with the two survivors at 7.50. The owner of the Dulcie Doris made a donation to the Institution's funds..
