ESCORT FOR YACHT AND TOWING VESSEL Lowestoft, Suffolk. At 11.36 on the morning of Saturday the 10th of August, 1963, the Lowestoft coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a message had been received via Gorleston coastguard that the Norwegian ship Skaansund was towing a yacht with three men on board three miles south-east of Southwold and would like the life-boat to tow the yacht into harbour. The life-boat Frederick Edward Crick was launched at 11.50 a.m. but on the way to the rendezvous in a fresh south-west by west wind and in choppy seas it was learned that the Southwold harbourmaster had taken over the tow. The lifeboat escorted both vessels into harbour, returning to her station at 2.45 p.m..
