Sheringham, Norfolk-At 9.40 a.m.

on 25th May, 1968, a local fisherman told the coxswain that the fishing boat Tania appeared to be in difficulties off Sheringham. The lifeboat Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows was launched at 9.55 in a fresh east south easterly breeze and a moderate sea. It was one hour after high water. On coming up with the fishing boat the life-boat took her crew of two aboard and then took her in tow to Sheringham. The service was aided by the use of an emergency sea drogue made by the coxswain. The life-boat returned to her station at 10.30..
