ESCORT FOR NINE COBLES Filey, Yorkshire. At 9.30 on the morning of the 13th April, 1962, when nine cobles of the local fishing fleet were at sea in a freshening wind, the honorary secretary decided to launch the lifeboat The Isa & Penryn Milsted because the weather was becoming worse.

The life-boat was launched at 10.10, two hours before high water, in a moderate to strong north-north-westerly wind and a moderate swell. The nine cobles were escorted safely ashore, and the life-boat reached her station at 2.20..
