Two Landing Craft The L.B.V.33, and The L.B.V.42
JANUARY 2 4TH. - SHOREHAM HARBOUR, SUSSEX. About 2.30 in the afternoon the naval authorities asked, through the coastguard, for the life-boat to go to the help of two landing craft about a mile south of Shoreham. A strong southerly wind was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor lifeboat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched at 2.40. In the meantime one of the vessels, the L.B.V.33, had got into harbour, but the other, the L.B.V.42, fouled the east pier, and went ashore on the east side of the pier. The life-boat passed a rope to her, towed her off, and brought her into harbour at 3.40. - Rewards, £7 17s..
