Tine Andersen of Hull

Tenby, Pembrokeshire - At 4.22 a.m.

on 8th August, 1969, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the drifter Tine Andersen of Hull, with one man on board, had dragged her anchor and was drifting on to a lee shore at the north beach. The lifeboat Crawford and Constance Conybeare, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 4.30 in a fresh south westerly wind with a moderate sea. It was two hours after high water. She came up with the drifter at 4.50 and got a line aboard just as the drifter was grounding. The life-boat took her in tow to a safe mooring at Priory bay buoy, Caldey island, and returned to her station at 6.30..
