A Motor Cruiser
TOWED TO GORLESTON Culler-coats, Northumberland. At 7.15 p.m. on lyth November, 1963, a message was received from the coastguard by the new Cullercoats life-boat, the Sir James Knott, whilst on passage to her station from Cowes, Isle of Wight, that a motor cruiser had broken down with engine trouble one mile north of Gorleston. There was a southerly gale and a very rough sea. The life-boat altered course, found the motor cruiser with a crew of two and took her in tow to Gorleston.
The owner of the motor cruiser made a gift to the life-boat crew..
