Senneris Cove 37ft 6m Rather lifeboat Diana White launched in a strong and squally north-north-westerly gale and very rough seas on February 6, 1983, to go to the help of the Irish passenger ferry St Killian II which had lost all power and steerage some six miles south west of Longships Lighthouse, Land's End; she had more than 200 people on board.

Coxswain/Mechanic Maurice Hutchens took Diana White out through the Tribbens, a passage to the west of the cove usable at high water. Almost as soon as she reached the open sea, however, a message came that the ferry had recovered her power, so Diana White and St Mary's lifeboat, which had also launched, returned to station. The photograph was taken by Crew Member Peter Puddiphatt, one of Sennen Cove shore helpers for this launch..
