HARBOUR TUG TAKEN IN TOW Cloughey, Co. Down. At 10.4 on the morning of the 23rd June, 1963, the motor mechanic informed the honorary secretary that he had seen a man waving some clothing from a boat in Cloughey Bay. The life-boat Constance Calverley was launched at 10.20 in a light south-south-westerly breeze and a choppy sea. The tide was half flood.

The life-boat found a harbour tug with one man on board. Her engine had broken down, and the life-boat took her in tow to Portavogie. The life-boat reached her station at 11.40, but she could not be rehoused until 4.45..
