Lowestoft, Suffolk - At 12.56 p.m.

on 15th October, 1966, a longshore boat was seen firing red flares half a mile east of Lowestoft harbour entrance. The lifeboat Frederick Edward Crick was launched four minutes later in a fresh southerly wind and a choppy sea. The tide was at half ebb. She proceeded to the position and discovered that a net had fouled the motor fishing vessel Seafarer's propeller.

The life-boat secured a line to the casualty and towed her to Lowestoft harbour.

When the Seafarer was safely moored the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 1.40..
