Jane

At 2.55 p.m. on 26th January, 1965, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that an unknown vessel was seen apparently broken down off Bognor Regis. The life-boat Canadian Pacific was launched at 3.25 in a moderate north-easterly breeze. It was three hours before high water. She arrived alongside the motor fishing vessel Jane at 4.5 which was under way but with her steering damaged by rocks. The life-boat towed her into Littlehampton arriving at 5.27 and returned to her station at 7.35 p.m..
