Sennen Cove, Cornwall. At 8.55 a.m. on 25th July, 1965, the St. Just coastguard reported a motor yacht drifting about one mile to the north of Cape Cornwall. She was in no immediate danger, but at 9.35 the coastguard saw that she had hoisted a distress signal. At 9.44 the life-boat Susan Ashley was launched in a strong south-westerly wind, rough sea and flooding tide and found the motor yacht Marea, with a crew of four, one and a half miles north of Cape Cornwall, bound from Salcombe for Stourport. Both her engines had broken down, so the life-boat towed her to Newlyn in a heavy swell and returned to her station at 5.45 p.m..
