Shoreham Harbour, Sussex - At 8.48 p.m. on 9th May, 1966 it was reported that a flashing light had been seen about four miles south of the harbour.

The life-boat Dorothy and Philip Constant launched at 8.54 in a moderate north westerly wind and a slight sea. It was almost low water. When she reached the given position she found the fishing boat Trident whose engine had broken down. The casualty was partly waterlogged so the crew of two were taken off by the life-boat and the Trident was towed slowly back to harbour. The life-boat returned to her station at 12.15 a.m. on loth May..
