Grace Gary
TOW FOR FISHING BOAT TO HARBOUR Workington, Cumberland. At 9.44 on the evening of the 18th March, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a red flare had been seen opposite the steel works at Workington. Further information was asked for, and at 10.15 the life-boat Manchester and Salford XXIX left her moorings. There was a gentle northeasterly breeze and a calm sea, and it was high water. The life-boat found the fishing boat Grace Gary, with a crew of three, a mile and a half west of Workington. She had run out of fuel, and the life-boat took her in tow to Workington, arriving at 11.55..
