Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk: At 12 noon on 3rd November, 1965, the Superintendent of Trinity House, Great Yarmouth, asked for help in bringing off a sick man from the Cross Sands light vessel as the Trinity House tender was too far away to deal with the emergency. The life-boat Louise Stephens was launched at 12.42 in a strong north westerly breeze and a moderate sea. It was one hour before high water. The life-boat proceeded to the light vessel, where the man was taken aboard the life-boat, which reached her station at 4.15 p.m. A doctor and ambulance met the life-boat on her return..
