Swanage, Dorset - At 6 p.m. on 21st June, 1969, a small yacht was reported in difficulties half a mile south of St. Alban's head. At 6.11 the life-boat R.L.P. was launched in a fresh south westerly wind with a slight sea. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat came up with the yacht Lydos, with a crew of two on board, sheltering in the quieter water of Chapman's pool. The lifeboat took her in tow to Swanage and returned to her station at 8.40..
