Ross Cormorant

TOO ROUGH At 8.30 a.m. on 9th of April, 1966, the Lloyd's agent told the honorary secretary that the trawler Ross Cormorant would be in Bridlington Bay at 8.30 p.m. and wished to have a sick man taken off. He had asked for a coble to go, but was told that it was too rough. He had arranged for an ambulance to be on the pier. The life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched at 9.10 p.m. in a moderate to fresh east-bynortherly wind and a rough sea. It was high water. She took the man off the trawler and returned to the harbour, where the patient was transferred to the ambulance..
