COBLE ESCORTED TO HARBOUR Blyth, Northumberland. At 5.36 on the evening of the 15th August, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a Newbiggin coble fishing from Blyth was making heavy weather between a mile and two miles south-east of Newbiggin Point. At 5.50 the lifeboat Winston Churchill (Civil Service No. 8) was launched. There was a light east-north-east breeze and a rough sea, and the tide was ebbing. At 6.6 the lifeboat found the coble Sea Flower, with a crew of two, east of Blyth pier close to Seaton rocks. She escorted her to Blyth and arrived back at her station at 6.25..
