FISHING BOAT OVERDUE At 7.36 a.m. on 22nd August, 1964, the coastguard told the life-boat's mechanic that a fishing boat with one person on board was reported overdue. At 9.33 this report was confirmed and both the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy were alerted. It was one hour after high water with a smooth sea and a gentle northeasterly breeze. At 9.48 the life-boat Thomas Forehead and Mary Rowse put out to search within a radius of four miles each side of the harbour entrance, and at 10.35 found the missing vessel, the fishing boat P.H. 90, drifting about four miles south-east of Penlee. Her engine had broken down. Her owner, who had injured his wrist, was given first aid on board the life-boat and the P.H. 90 was towed back to Plymouth. The life-boat reached her station at 12.15 p.m..
