OTD 1964 the MV Queensgate ran ashore in fog at 0400hrs at Happy Valley, 1 mile west of Whitby. Whitby Lifeboat, RNLB Mary-Ann Hepworth was launched to assist the vessel. The Queensgate was successfully refloated the following day with the Lifeboat standing by.

OTD 1972 Whitby Lifeboat 'RNLB Mary Ann Hepworth' under the command of Coxswain Bill Harland rescued the two crew of the Yacht 'Susie G' which ran ashore at Saltwick Bay near Whitby in the hours of darkness. The Yacht became a total loss but the crew were saved.
