Plymouth, Devon - At 10.10 p.m. on ist April, 1967, a yacht was reported to be in difficulties inshore and dangerously close to rocks near the Royal Western yacht club. She appeared to be trying, without success, to pick up a mooring.The life-boat Thomas Forehead and Mary Rowse proceeded to the position at 10.30 in a south south westerly gale and a rough sea. It was an hour and a quarter before high water. On reaching the position it appeared that the yacht Trumpeter had given up her attempt to pick up moorings in this exposed spot and was making her way across the Sound towards Jennycliff. When off Mount Batten breakwater the life-boat escorted her safely to moorings alongside Trinity pier, Millbay docks. The life-boat returned to her station at 11.45..
