TOWED TO LOWESTOFT Lowestoft, Suffolk. At 11.30 a.m. on 24th August, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a converted life-boat, Osprey, was burning red flares about one mile east-north-east of the lookout.

There was a choppy sea with a moderate south-westerly wind and it was low water. The life-boat Frederick Edward Crick put out at 11.40 and found the Osprey with her engine broken down. The lifeboat towed her into Lowestoft, and reached her station at 12.30 p.m..
