A Motor Boat (1)

Fowey, Cornwall - At 4.27 p.m. on 18th May, 1966, a woman informed the honorary secretary that she and her husband had been in a motor boat which capsized in Lantio Bay, but they had managed to scramble ashore. The lifeboat Deneys Reitz was launched at 4.30 in a light west-north-westerly wind and a slight sea. It was one hour before high water. The life-boat found the boat sunk on the beach, and towed her to Fowey harbour. She returned to her station at 5.45 p.m..
