Barry Dock, Glamorganshire - At 4.2 p.m. on 27th November, 1968, the coastguard told the coxswain that a yacht was in difficulties close inshore in Font-y-Gary bay. The life-boat Arthur and Blanche Harris, on evaluation trials at the station, slipped her moorings at 4.15. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the yacht Tia Maria III with four people on board a quarter of a mile off shore. A line was passed and the yacht, which had engine trouble, was taken in tow to Barry. The life-boat returned to her station at 5.30..
