YACHT TAKEN IN TOW TO HARBOUR Shoreham Harbour, Sussex. At 11.51 on the morning of the 28th August, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the auxiliary yacht Diana, of Shoreham, which had a crew of three, was burning red flares half a mile south of the power station.

Nine minutes later the life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched.

There was a fresh south-south-west breeze, the sea was rough, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat found that the Diana had broken down and put two of her crew aboard. She then took the yacht in tow and berthed her in the harbour. The life-boat reached her station at two o'clock. A helicopter also took off but was not needed..
