See Wee

Porthdinllaen, Caernarvonshire - At 4.24 a.m. on 16th March, 1969, it was learnt that the motor boat See Wee, with three men on board, on passage from Llandlwyn Island was overdue. The life-boat Cunard, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 5.58. There was a moderate east north easterly breeze with a corresponding sea. The tide was flooding. The life-boat came up with the motor boat two miles west of Belan Fort. Her engine had broken down. The three men were taken aboard the life-boat and the motor boat was taken in tow to Caernarvon.

The life-boat returned to her station at 1.15 p.m. A helicopter also took part in this service..
