Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk - At 4.20 p.m. on 30th December, 1966, a small motor cruiser was seen to be in difficulties about a quarter of a mile north east of the harbour entrance.

The Life-boat Louise Stephens was launched at 4.30 in a gentle west south westerly wind and a slight sea. It was one hour before low water. She found that the motor cruiser Kingfisher, which had three occupants, including a five year old boy, was being carried northwards by thewind and the ebbing tide. The life-boat took the cruiser in tow and returned to her station, arriving at five o'clock..
