Amble, Northumberland - At 2.35 p.m. on i4th August, 1967, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that three fishing cobles were in difficulties in South bay. The life-boat Millie Walton slipped her moorings at 2.57 in a strong east by southerly breeze and a moderate sea. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat proceeded to Druridge bay where the fishing vessel Honour was found partially swamped. She was escorted towards the harbour. Two other cobles were found and they were escorted to safety. The life-boat returned to her station at 4 o'clock..
