FOULED PROPELLER At 5.46 p.m. on 8th November, 1964,.

the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a fishing boat was in distress i \ miles off west pier, Brighton, in a choppy sea and fresh north-easterly breeze. It was one hour before low water when, at 5.56, the life-boat Dorothy and Philip Constant was launched. By using parachute flares the life-boat quickly found the fishing boat John Howard III, which was partly waterlogged. Her propeller had fouled on a fishing net. Her four occupants were taken aboard the life-boat, which towed the fishing boat to Shoreham Harbour.

The life-boat arrived at her station at 7.20..
