At 2.58 p.m. on 23rd June, 1965, the honorary secretary in consultation with the coxswain decided that the life-boat Anthony Robert Marshall, should be launched to escort two local motor fishing vessels to harbour in view of the bad weather conditions. There was a southwesterly wind of gale force and a rough sea and the tide was flooding. The lifeboat found the motor fishing vessels Stingray and Welsh Lady III one mile off shore and escorted both vessels safely to harbour..
