MAN FROM NORWEGIAN VESSEL OVERBOARD Barry Dock, Glamorganshire. At 4.40 on the afternoon of the 18th February, 1963, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a man was reported overboard from the Norwegian motor vessel Livanita of Grimstad two miles west of Breaksea lightvessel. There was a moderate south-easterly breeze with a corresponding sea and snow showers. The life-boat Rachel and Mary Evans was launched at 4.55 on an ebbing tide and made for the position given.

When she came up with the Livanita it was learnt that the man had been picked up. A helicopter then placed a doctor on board, but the man was found to be dead. The life-boat landed the body at Barry and then returned to her station, arriving at seven o'clock..
