TOO MANY FISH Lowestoft, Suffolk. At 6.55 p.m. on 26th October, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a small boat was sinking in a slight sea and a light variable wind off Pakefield beach. The life-boat Frederick Edward Crick put out at 7.12 and found a longshore boat with a man on board. She had a very large catch of fish in her nets and consequently was sinking. The life-boat beached the catch and towed the longshore boat to harbour, returning to her station at 9.30..
