Philip Rumbelow lived in Great Yarmouth and enjoyed going out with his 8mm camera to record what was happening locally. On Sunday February 13th 1955, something very different was happening. At 5.30am during a squall on Waxham beach a French trawler was stranded. Initially, the efforts to refloat her was unsuccessful, then eventually she was towed to Yarmouth, where she was repaired at Fellows Yard, before leaving for France. The salvagers celebrated in the Star Hotel.
