TRAWLER AGROUND At 10 a.m. on 25th January, 1966, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the trawler Warbler was aground on the Newcombe Sands off the Lowestoft harbour entrance. The life-boat Frederick Edward Crick went to the position given at 10.15. and a tow rope was passed to the trawler. There was an easterly gale force wind and the sea was moderate. It was one hour to high water. The life-boat pulled the trawler free after 20 minutes, then returned to her station, arriving at 11.15..
