Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk - At 12 noon on 23rd April, 1967, when the life-boat Louise Stephens was at sea the coxswain noticed that conditions on the bar would be likely tocause difficulties for seven small boats fishing in the area. There was a fresh east north easterly wind and a choppy sea. It was two hours after high water.

The life-boat escorted the boats the Marie Rose, Beatty, G.B.H., Red Herring, I'll Try, Bettsey and one other safely to harbour and returned to her station at 12.55..
