Scarborough, Yorkshire - At 7.10 p.m. on 29th May, 1966, a tractor driver saw a capsized canoe with two persons clinging to it in broken water one mile south west of the life-boathouse. They were trying to make for the beach but due to the state of the tide were unable to make much progress. The IRB was, therefore, launched at 7.20 in a north north easterly breeze and corresponding sea. The dinghy was towed to the beach and the two crew members landed. The IRB returned to her station at 8 p.m..
