A Cabin Cruiser (1)

Tynemouth, Northumberland - At 5.14 p.m. on 29th August, 1967, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small cabin cruiser was in difficulties one and a half miles from the Tyne and half a mile off Marsden. The life-boat Tynesider was launched at 5.26 in a moderate westerly breeze and a smooth sea. The tide was flooding. The life-boat found the cabin cruiser in the tow of a pilot cutter. The life-boat escorted both boats to the harbour and returned to her station at 6.40..
