FATHER WAS ILL Fleetwood, Lancashire. At 2.30 p.m.

on 13th April, 1964, the superintendent of the Trinity House depot at Holyhead informed the honorary secretary that the father of one of the crew members of the Morecambe Bay lightvessel was very ill.

The honorary secretary agreed to allow the life-boat to launch and land the man because of these circumstances. There was a strong west-south-westerly breeze with a moderate sea and an ebbing tide.

The life-boat Ann Letitia Russell launched at 2.55 and the seaman was transferred to the life-boat from the lightvessel and landed at Fleetwood. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 8 p.m..
