On I5th November, 1964, the inspector of the Irish Lights Office told the coxswain that the son of the master of the Codling Bank lightvessel had just died and the master had asked to be brought ashore. The sea was rough with a north-westerly gale and the tide was ebbing. At 10.10 a.m. the life-boat J. W. Archer was launched. The master of the lightvessel was taken aboard the life-boat and at 2 p.m. she re-entered the harbour where she landed the master before returning to her station..
