DUTCH COASTER AGROUND At 11.12 a.m. on i8th March, 1964, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the Dutch coaster Lenie of Steendam which had grounded on some rocks near Porthdinllaen during the early hours of the morning might need help, and eight minutes later the life-boat J.J.K.S.W., on temporary duty at the station, was launched. There was a southeasterly wind of near gale force, a rough sea and it was two hours before high water. The life-boat met the Lenie off the North Stack and escorted her safely to Holyhead. The life-boat reached her station at 12.30 p.m.

The life-boat was also called out on 8th March, 1964..
