Ramsgate, Kent - At 4.55 p.m. on 25th May, 1969, the east pier watchman told the honorary secretary that a sailing dinghy had capsized in Pegwell bay. The life-boat Michael and Lily Davis slipped her moorings at 5.5 in a fresh east north easterly wind and a moderate sea. The tide was flooding. She came up with the dinghy two miles west south west of Ramsgate. The crew of two, who were clinging to the overturned boat, were taken on board the life-boat, and the dinghy was taken in tow to harbour. The life-boat returned to her station at 5.31..
