FISHING VESSEL TOWED IN BY PILOT CUTTER Teesmouth, Yorkshire. At 3.23 p.m.

on Sunday the 18th of August, 1963, the Redcar coastguard told the honorary secretary that a small boat was in difficulty three quarters of a mile off South Gare breakwater. The life-boat Sarah Jane and James Season was launched at 3.50 in a moderate north-easterly wind and moderate sea. It was high water. A Tees pilot cutter had already put to sea and had passed a line to the small fishing vessel Dolphine and started to tow her in. The life-boat escorted the two boats to Teesmouth and returned to her station at 4.45..
