North Sunderland, Northumberland.

At 11.30 a.m. on igth March, 1965, the life-boat motor mechanic informed the honorary secretary that two cobles from Craster had been unable to enter Craster harbour and were lying off North Sunderland harbour. There was a light northeasterly breeze and a rough sea and at noon the life-boat Grace Darling was launched on the flooding tide and escorted the cobles into the harbour. The life-boat then put to sea on a routine exercise and then stood by until the local boats were safely in the harbour. The life-boat returned to her station at 4.30 p.m..
