Tramore, Co. Waterford. At 4.25 p.m. on 9th October, 1965, the honorary secretary was told by the police that cries for help had been heard coming from the sea half a mile east of the station.

At 4.30 the IRB launched on a flooding tide in a moderate easterly breeze and a choppy sea. She found three bathers, and three youths who had climbed down the cliffs to help them. One of the bathers had got into difficulties when swimming and had been brought ashore by the two other bathers. The exhausted bather could only be taken off the beach by boat, so the IRB was taken close inshore and the bather put aboard. The crew then waded out with the IRB until she was clear of the rocks and the engine could be started. She returned to her station at 4.45 p.m. where an ambulance and doctor were waiting..
