Prins Boudewijn
Angle, Pembrokeshire. At 7.50 a.m.
on 25th April, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the Belgian trawler Prins Boudewijn of Ostend had been reported on fire one mile west of St. Anne's Head. There was a moderate south-easterly breeze with a corresponding sea, and the tide was ebbing. Visibility was very poor owing to fog. The lifeboat Richard Vernon and Mary Garforth of Leeds launched at 8.17 and met the trawler at 8.35. The tug Thorn Garth was alongside the trawler and the life-boat stood by the vessels for about two hours, until no further help was required. She arrived back at her station at 10.45..
