MOTOR CRUISER Swanage, Dorset. At 6.33 p.m. on 5th October, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a large motor cruiser appeared to be in difficulties about six miles off Kimmeridge. There was a choppy sea with a fresh southeasterly breeze when, at 6.40, the lifeboat R.L.P. was launched. It was three hours before high water. The motor cruiser was found to be the Shoanne. Both her engines had broken down and the one man aboard could not repair them. The Shoanne was towed to Poole where the life-boat was moored until the following morning because of the weather. She returned to her station at 9.45 a.m..
