TOWED RESCUE BOAT At 9.40 p.m. on 23rd November, 1964, the Tay road bridge contractors' safety officer told the coxswain that his rescue boat had broken adrift in the strong south-westerly breeze and was drifting downstream with the tide, which was one hour before low water. Two men were aboard and they were trying to start the engine without success. At 9.54 the lifeboat City of Bradford II, on temporary duty at the station, put out to intercept the boat. At 10.10 the life-boat towed the boat to Broughty Ferry, returning to her station at 10.30..
