Howth, Co. Dublin - At 5.52 p.m. on I3th March, 1966, the coxswain's wife informed the honorary secretary that a man had fallen over the cliff. The Dublin Fire Brigade had been called out but had been unable to rescue him. At 6.15 the life-boat A.M.T. went to the scene of the accident at Baily Howth. It was two hours after high water. She arrived just off the foot of the cliff at 6.40 and the boarding boat was sent in. The injured man was put on a stretcher and, with two of the firemen, taken aboard. At 6.55 she returned to the east pier where the injured man was landed for hospital treatment.

The life-boat returned to her moorings at 7.25.
