The 52ft Barnett relief lifeboat Thomas Forehead and Mary Rowse, while at Ramsey during a passage from Holyhead to Arranmore, launched on the morning of January 23 to take over from HMS Soberton the tow of Dutch, a converted ship's lifeboat with a crew of three, and bring her in to harbour. Dutch, whose propeller had become fouled in deteriorating weather, had first been taken in tow by the Shaw Savill ship Cairnleader. The lifeboat's passage crew was augmented by Ramsey crew members. photograph by courtesy of Stanley Basnett.
