TOW FOR MOTOR BOAT At 1.55 p.m. on 24th October, 1964, the east pier watchman told the honorary secretary that a motor boat had broken down and was drifting in moderate seas and a corresponding north-westerly breeze off Ramsgate. At 2.5, high water, the life-boat Michael and Lily Davis put out to sea. She found the motor boat Stephen, which had a crew of two, drifting 11 miles north-east of the harbour. The motor boat was towed into the harbour and the life-boat returned to her station at 3.10..
