AFTER A COLLISION At 6.40 p.m. on 28th November, 1964, the coastguard informed the coxswain superintendent that the motor vessel Royal Gate had been in collision one mile west of Chequer buoy and was making for the beach in a moderate southerly wind with a slight sea. At 6.40, low water, the life-boat City of Bradford III was launched. She came alongside the Royal Gate which had a crew of nine, and found that the vessel was badly damaged amidships on the port side. At 8.30 the vessel made her way towards Grimsby, keeping close to the shore, accompanied by the life-boat. Before she reached Grimsby however she developed a heavy list and was beached again. The tide held her in an upright position and the Royal Gate signified that no further assistance was required. At 11.15 tne life-boat returned to her station..
