TOW FOR DREDGER Angle, Pembrokeshire. At 9.50 p.m.

on aoth March, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a vessel in the vicinity of St. Govan's lightvessel needed immediate help. There was a fresh southeasterly breeze with a heavy swell, and it was one hour before high water. The lifeboat Richard Vernon and Mary Garforth of Leeds launched at 10.15 and found the sand dredger Nigel with a crew of two on board. The dredger's engines had broken down while on passage from Llanelly to Milford Haven and her anchor was dragging.

The life-boat towed the casualty to a berth in Pembroke Dock before returning to her station at 9.45 a.m. the next morning..
