Tranquillity

DINGHY CAPSIZED At 8.23 p.m. later the same day the coxswain saw a sailing dinghy capsize about one mile south-east of Ramsgate.

There was a moderate to fresh northwesterly breeze with a moderate sea. It was two hours before low water. At 8.30 the life-boat Michael and Lily Davis put out to the dinghy which she reached at 9 p.m. The only person in the dinghy Tranquillity was taken aboard the lifeboat and the dinghy was towed to Ramsgate.

The life-boat returned to her station at 9.30..
