Sea Venture, of Immingham
number, Yorkshire - At 1.45 p.m. on 7th October, 1967, the coastguard informed the coxswain that a fishingboat had broken down and was drifting one mile south-east of Chequer buoy. The life-boat Edward and Isabella Irwin, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 1.55 in a fresh west north westerly breeze and a moderate sea. It was low water. The life-boat came up with the fishing boat Sea Venture of Immingham with four people on board and took her in tow to Grimsby, arriving at 4.45. The lifeboat left Grimsby at 5 o'clock and returned to her station at 6.30. The owner made a gift to the life-boat crew..
