Douglas lifeboat, the 46' 9" Watson R. A. Colby Cubbin No. 1, which kept watch over cargo vessel Ivy, taking water and listing, on January 3 and 4, is seen here launching to the aid of the pleasure boat White Rose at 1945 on Monday, July 28, 1975. On reaching White Rose at 2000 it was learnt that the machinery defect which had caused the trouble had been put right, and the lifeboat escorted her back to harbour.
