Tynemouth, Northumberland. At I p.m. on 8th January, 1966, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that an attempt was to be made to refloat the Dutch dredger Beverwuck which had gone aground on the i8th November, 1965. The dredger had been badly damaged recently and some repairs had been carried out. The life-boat Tynesider was launched at i.io in a fresh south south westerly breeze and in a slight swell. It was two hours to high water. The life-boat moved to stand by as the tugs and the salvage vessels arrived on the scene, but the captain in charge decided, in view of worsening weather conditions, to postpone the attempt, and she returned to Tynemouth at 3.10..
