A trawler skipper had a nerve-racking experience on 12th March 1993 after netting a 1,500 lb German bomb off the Great Orme. The crew of five were taken off by the two Llandudno lifeboats while bomb disposal experts made safe the seven foot long bomb by taking it out three miles north of the Orme, lowering it to the sea bed and detonating it. On 9th June, 1993 the ILB was in action when the town was flooded following a very sever localized storm. Torrential rain fell on the town and because of a high spring tide was unable to drain away, causing a large part of the town to be flooded (including the boathouse). The ILB rescued many people from their homes. Dan Jones was made coxswain on 20th April 1994 and on the same day Robin Holden was made second coxswain.
