WHITE FLAG FLYING Sheringham, Norfolk. At 11.10 a.m.

on ist September, 1964, a member of the life-boat crew reported that a crab boat was flying a white flag off Weybourne, apparently hi difficulties. There was a moderate sea with a moderate easterly breeze. It was low water. At 11.31 the life-boat The Manchester Unity of Oddfellows was launched. The engine of the White Rose had failed and her crew were baling hard as she was leaking badly. Two members of the life-boat crew boarded the crab boat and she was towed to Sheringham.

The life-boat returned to her station at 12.40 p.m..
