Bridlington, Yorkshire - At 4.30 p.m. on 29th March, 1966, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the trawler Newby Wyke, of Hull, due at Bridlington about 4.15, had a very sick man on board. There was a moderate north westerly breeze with a smooth sea.

The tide was flooding. The life-boat Tillie Morrison Sheffield II launched at 5.55 and after the station honorary medical adviser had embarked, set off and soon came up with the trawler. After he had been examined by the doctor, the patient was transferred to the life-boat which conveyed him to the south pier at Bridlington, where he was landed by the harbour crane and conveyed to hospital..
