Pentille
TRAWLER TOWED AFTER COLLISION WITH SUBMARINE Plymouth, Devon. At 9.29 on the morning of the 14th December, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a trawler was sinking two miles west of Rame Head, and at 9.43 the life-boat Thomas Forehead and Mary Rowse put to sea. There was a fresh west-north-west breeze, the sea was choppy, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat made a search and found the trawler Pentille of Plymouth two miles south-west of Rame Head. She had been in collision with a submarine of the Royal Navy and her crew of seven had taken to a raft. An R.A.F. air-sea rescue launch picked up the trawlermen, and at the request of the launch the life-boat stood by the trawler, which had been boarded by the crew of the launch. The tug Superman took the Pentille in tow and was escorted in by the life-boat, which arrived back at her station at 12.50 A helicopter took off from H.M.S. Bulwark but was not needed..
