Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford.

At 9 a.m. on 8th November, 1965, the Inspector of Irish Lights informed the honorary secretary that there was a sick keeper on the Tusker Rock lighthouse and requested that he be taken off. The life-boat Douglas Hyde set out at 10.30, towing the boarding boat, in a fresh southerly breeze and a moderate sea. It was low water. She reached the lighthouse, took the sick man off and landed him at Rosslare harbour. He was taken by car to a doctor, and the life-boat reached her station at 1.15 p.m..
