Does anyone have a Lucy Gower in their tree, possibly from the Whitby area, maybe born in the 40s.?

I have in my possession a narrative written by Lucy Gower and broadcast (it says Broadcast in VHF Pontop Pike) on 31 January 1961, It is three and a half A4 pages long and is a report of a rescue made by the Whitby lifeboat who took their lifeboat over land to rescue a brig that had floundered at Robin Hood Bay. The name of the coxswain of the lifeboat was Henry Freeman.

Has anyone any connection to either of the above people who might like to have a copy of this?

Gwyn strange that no mention is made of this occasion on the website.

I note that Henry Freeman was lucky to be alive on his first trip out he was the sole survivor of a tragedy.
