L’Appel-de-Lemar

MAY 2ND. - FLEETWOOD, LANCASHIRE.

During the evening the French fishing vessel L’Appel-de-Lemar, while on passage from Newlyn to Fleetwood, with a crew of five, grounded on St. Bernard’s Wharf about half a mile east-by-south from Wyre Lighthouse. A strong west-south-west wind was blowing, with squalls, and a moderate sea. At 7.30 the motor life-boat Ann Letitia Russell was launched and found the L’Appel-de-Lemar bumping very hard, but, with the rising tide, she floated off and the life-boat escorted her into harbour, arriving at 8.18. - Rewards, £7 12s..
