Bridlington 37ft Oakley lifeboat William Henry and Mary King setting out through heavy swells in the harbour month on August 14, 1979, to go to the help of the fishing coble Sincerity a mile south east of the station. The lifeboat was under the command of Second Coxswain Denis Atkins as the coxswain was on leave. It was ebb tide and, with a gale, force 8, blowing from the south east, the weather and sea were very rough. The lifeboat launched at 1300, reached the fishing coble at 1320 and then, with both boats streaming their drogues, Sincerity was escorted safely back to her berth at 1400.
