VERY ROUGH SEA At 6.45 a.m. on 29th November, 1965, three motor fishing vessels were reported to be still at sea in deteriorating weather.

The life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched at 7.5, an hour before high water, in a south-south-easterly gale and a very rough sea. She waited for two of the boats, the Winifred and Lead Us, and escorted them both safely into harbour.

She then remained afloat until the third boat Energy was safe in harbour, returning to her station at 2.20 p.m..
