L.C.T. 972

JANUARY 17TH. - ANGLE, PEMBROKESHIRE.

At 4.20 in the morning the Tenby coastguard telephoned that a landing craft was in need of help off St. Ann’s Head, and at five o’clock the motor life-boat Elizabeth Elson was launched in an east-north-easterly wind and a moderate sea. Six miles southwest of St. Ann’s Head she found L.C.T. 972 with her back broken, and escorted her into harbour, where she was taken over by tugs.

The life-boat returned to her station at nine o’clock that morning. - Rewards, £12 12s..
