Cormorant

Llandudno, Caernarvonshire. At 10.17 P-m- on 3oth June, 1965, the coastguard told the coxswain that they had under observation a yacht which was making no headway. It seemed to have dropped anchor in a dangerous position close to Little Orme's Head. The lifeboat Lilly Wainwright was launched at 10.55 in a moderate north-north-westerly breeze and a moderate sea. The tide was flooding. The life-boat found the yacht Cormorant with a crew of two very close to the rocks. The yacht was taken in tow to a safe mooring in Llandudno bay. The life-boat reached her station at 12.30 a.m..
