CALL TO COBLE At i.io p.m. on 2Oth April, 1966, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the fishing coble Neptune had sprung a leak while crabbing near Hornsea.

A helicopter from Leconfield was standing by the boat. The life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched at 1.30 in a light north-by-easterly wind and a rough sea. She reached the casualty at 2.15 and took her in tow as the engine had been swamped. The life-boat towed the coble back to the harbour, and then returned to her station arriving at 4.30..
