SCARBOROUGH, August 1, 1987: the 37ft Oakley class lifeboat Amelia arrives back at Scarborough with the 38ft yacht Tin Fish which she had towed 24 miles after the vessel's engines had failed. A force 5/6 north-westerly wind at the position of the casualty was creating rough seas on a 6-8ft swell. The casualty had on board an elderly couple, new owners of the yacht, who were both suffering from exhaustion and sea sickness and were unable to sail the boat as a result. Having delivered the Tin Fish to the safety of Scarborough Inner Harbour, the Amelia was rehoused and ready for service at 1800, more than seven hours after launching. photograph by courtesy o/Scarbonmgh Evening News.
