FISHING VESSEL TOWED TO DOCK Humber, Yorkshire. About 12.30 on the afternoon of the 12th May, 1962, the owners informed the coxswain superintendent that the motor fishing vessel Monbretia was off Spurn with a fouled propeller and that she was drifting seawards. A moderate northerly wind was blowing with a slight sea. At 12.40 the life-boat City of Bradford III was launched just after high water.

The life-boat reached the position given, took the Monbretia in tow to Grimsby, and moored her in Grimsby dock. She then returned to her station, which she reached at 3.15..
