FROM GREEK SHIP At 5.25 p.m. on 6th November, 1964, the coxswain superintendent received a telephone message from a Hull shipping agent saying that a member of the crew of the Greek vessel Artigas was injured and needed hospital treatment. At 5.35 the life-boat City of Bradford III was launched into a smooth sea and light north-westerly breeze. The tide was at one hour before high water. At 6.10 the injured man was transferred from the Artigas, which was in Spurn anchorage, to the life-boat and landed at Grimsby at 7.5. The life-boat returned to her station at 8 p.m..
