Moelfre, Anglesey. At 5.35 p.m. on 3rd October, 1964, the coastguard told the coxswain that a shipping agency had asked for a doctor to be taken out to the Swedish tanker Anco Spur to attend to an injured man. It was one hour after low water with a rough sea and a moderate easterly breeze. The life-boat Watkin Williams was launched at 5.50 with a local doctor aboard. She reached the tanker at 6.40. The doctor boarded her and attended the sick man who decided to remain on board his ship. The life-boat sheltered in Beaumaris at n p.m. until the weather abated the following morning.

Then she returned to her station..
