A Coaster

Llandudno, Caernarvonshire - At 8.55 p.m. on 4th August, 1966, news was received that a coaster about 12 miles north east of Orme's Head had requested the services of a doctor to attend an injured man on board. At 9.55 the life-boat Lilly Wainwright was launched. There was a north westerly wind, it was two and a half hours after low water, and there was a moderate sea. The life-boat met the coaster two and a half miles offshore. The injured man was transferred to the lifeboat and landed at Llandudno. The lifeboat returned to her station at 11.20..
