NEAR PORTLAND BILL Weymouth, Dorset. At 8.30 p.m. on 9th November, 1964, the coxswain was told by a shipping agency that the Dutch motor vessel Ramona was drifting in choppy seas and a moderate south-easterly wind five miles south of Portland Bill. At 8.57 the life-boat Lloyd's, on temporary duty at the station, put out on the flood tide. At 9.18 the life-boat located the Ramona, which had now managed to get under way again. One of the crew of the life-boat was put aboard to pilot the vessel in. The life-boat escorted her into Weymouth where she arrived at 10.15..
