Triumph

COBLE ESCORTED IN ROUGH SEA Filey, Yorkshire. At 9.45 on the morning of the 4th April, 1963, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that he had learnt from the coxswain, who had been out on a fishing trip, that one of the small local cobles, named Triumph, was six miles north-east of the brig in very rough weather. Conditions were much better in the bay, but the coastguard confirmed that beyond the brig the weather was gradually worsening.

The life-boat The Isa & Penryn Milsted put out at 10.20 in a moderate northwesterly breeze and a rough sea. The tide was half flood. The life-boat found the Triumph and escorted her safely to Filey, which was reached at 1.15..
