 The first records of a launch of "The Augusta" where lives were saved, happened on 5 February 1841.The "Dygden" was a 600-ton barque from the Baltic port of Åbo (now the city of Turku in Finland).The "Dygden", which was carrying a cargo of timber, had been struggling in the stormy seas of the North Sea for fourteen days and had become so completely lost that the barques captain had mistaken St Nicholas Church in Blakeney for Dover Castle and so had thought his ship had reached the English Channel.
