DANISH VESSEL ESCORTED INTO HARBOUR Fowey, Cornwall. At 5.30 on the afternoon of the 7th March, 1963, Lloyd's agent at Fowey informed the honorary secretary that a vessel had gone ashore north-east of Par harbour while attempting to enter and that she would now try to get off on the morning tide. As a southerly gale was imminent, the lifeboat Deneys Reitz put out at one o'clock early on the morning of the 8th March to stand by. There was a strong breeze blowing from the south-west with a very rough sea. The tide was flooding.

The life-boat found the Danish motor vessel Idalith of /Eroskobing, which refloated under her own power at 4.5.

The life-boat escorted her into Fowey harbour and then returned to her station, arriving at 5.30..
