Shoreham Harbour, Sussex. At 7.40 a.m. on 30th October, 1965, the coastguard reported that a small fishing vessel had fired red flares from a position half a mile east of the harbour. The life-boat Dorothy and Philip Constant was launched at 7.53 in a fresh south-westerly breeze and a choppy sea. It was low water. She found the fishing vessel with her engine broken down, and her crew of three were taken on board. The life-boat then towed the fishing vessel to Shoreham Harbour, arriving at 8.35 a.m..
