Boulmer, Northumberland - At 6.55 p.m. on I7th July, 1967, a message was received that the weather was deteriorating and three fishing cobles were still at sea. The life-boat Robert and Dorothy Hardcastle was launched at 7.25 in a strong southerly breeze. The tide was flooding.

The life-boat proceeded to and stood by the fishing cobles while the nets were recovered. They were advised not to attempt to enter Boulmer. The Golden Gleam and Moonbeam went to Amble, but the Sea Flower insisted on going to Boulmer. The life-boat escorted her there, but the harbour entrance proved impossible and she went to Amble. The lifeboat returned to her station at 12.35 a-mon 18th July..
