DANISH SHIP HELPED At 7.33 p.m. on 8th September, 1965, the coastguard reported that a coaster with a deck cargo two and a half miles south-south-west of Ventnor appeared to have broken down, so at 7.45 the lifeboat Jesse Lumb was launched. She made a search in a strong westerly wind, rough sea and flooding tide and came up with the Danish motor vessel Northwind three miles east-south-east of Woody Bay. The vessel had engine trouble and an electrical fault and asked for a pilot. The life-boat radioed for a pilot to be sent out, escorted the Northwind to a safe anchorage in St. Helens Roads, and returned to her station at 10.40 p.m..
