Endeavour III
PROPELLER TROUBLE Caister, Norfolk. At 8.50 a.m. on i6th October, 1963, the police told the honorary secretary that a fishing vessel was flying distress signals off Caister. The life-boat motor mechanic, who was in the boat-house, confirmed that he could see the vessel north of Caister Elbow through his telescope. There was a gentle westerly breeze with a slight sea. The tide was flooding. The life-boat Jose Neville was launched at nine o'clock and found the fishing vessel Endeavour III, of Harwich, with two people on board, near the Caister Elbow buoy. Her propeller had been fouled by fishing nets. The life-boat towed the vessel to Yarmouth harbour and returned to her station at 11.50..
