PENLEE | 29 JUNE

Penlee’s crew were in the throes of their Sunday morning training session when they received the call for help.

Provident, a 1920s former Brixham trawler with 13 people onboard, had developed mechanical problems just south of St Michael’s Mount. The crew launched the all-weather lifeboat and began a tow to the safety of Newlyn Harbour. The 27m vessel had been en route to the Isles of Scilly.
