SKIPPER PUT BACK ABOARD TRAWLER Tenby, Pembrokeshire. At 10.20 on the morning of the 20th April, 1963, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the trawler Lady Anna was gradually drifting on to the shore at Saundersfoot with a man on board.

Meanwhile, her skipper was ashore trying to find a replacement for the engine. The life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched at 10.30 in a strong south-easterly breeze and a rough sea.

It was low water. The life-saving apparatus team also assembled and went to Saundersfoot. When the life-boat reached Saundersfoot she put the skipper back on board the Lady Anna and stood by until her engine was repaired. Once it was confirmed that the engine was working, the life-boat returned to her station. She arrived at 1.30 but could not be rehoused until the 24th April..
