Provider (1)
COBLE ESCORTED TO SAFETY OF BAY Flamborough, Yorkshire. On the 12th September, 1962, the local fishing coble Provider was out fishing from the north landing when a northerly gale sprang up. The life-boat coxswain went to the landing, and as the weather was growing worse, by 9.30 it was felt that the coble might be in danger. At 9.40 the life-boat Friendly Forester was launched at low water. She made for a position three miles north of the North Landing and found the Provider trying to return to harbour. Because of the heavy swell she could not make it, and the life-boat escorted her round Flamborough Head into the safety of Bridlington Bay. The life-boat then returned to her station, which she reached at 11.45..
