STEERING CABLE PARTED Rhyl, Flintshire. On 29th May, 1965, the life-boat Anthony Robert Marshall had launched for a special exercise with a helicopter when the skipper of the motor fishing vessel Welsh Lady HI spoke to the life-boat's coxswain asking for assistance as the steering cable had parted. There was a moderate to fresh north-easterly breeze and a rough sea. The life-boat stood by the vessel, which was one and a half miles north of Rhyl pier, until a jury gear had been rigged and then escorted the Welsh Lady HI into harbour.

When the life-boat put out to resume the exercise the skipper of the motor vessel Sultan asked her crew to escort him to harbour as the weather was deteriorating and he had 12 passengers on board.

The life-boat escorted the Sultan safely into harbour and then proceeded to sea to complete the exercise..
