Amble, Northumberland - At 7.35 a.m. on ist November, 1966, the cobles Provider and Elizabeth Isabel were still at sea with conditions at the harbour bar worsening in the ebb tide. The life-boat Millie Walton slipped her moorings at 7.45. She found the cobles about one mile south east of the Coquet lighthouse and escorted them to Blyth as the harbour bar at Amble was too dangerous for cobles to enter. The life-boat returned to her station at 2.35..
