on 24th February, 1964, the honorary secretary was told that a radio telephone message had been intercepted from the local fishing vessel Winifred to other fishing boats, stating she had broken down off Flamborough Head. There was a light southerly breeze with a calm sea but a south-easterly gale had been forecast.

It was low water. The life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II launched at 8.15 and reached the Winifred, with her crew of four, at nine o'clock. Visibility was very bad due to fog. The fishing vessel was taken in tow and brought safely into harbour at 10.45. The life-boat returned to her station at 11.30..
