Princess Ivanhoe sinking and Marie Winstone Naming RNLI Film

I think this was raw footage that might have been subsequently edited for two news stories. First concerns Prince Ivanhoe sinking
On 3 August 1981 the Prince Ivanhoe began a pleasure trip starting at Penarth with stops at Minehead and Mumbles and then a cruise along the Gower coast. By the time she left Mumbles she had 450 passengers on board.
She navigated close to the shore around Oxwich Point into Port Eynon Bay at 15:35. Whilst emerging from this bay she hit a submerged object, probably rocks or a wreck, tearing a 60-foot (18 m) gash in her hull. Realising that she was sinking her captain, David Neill, sailed her about one mile (1.6 km) to Horton, Swansea where she was beached.
An RAF air-sea rescue helicopter and RNLI life boats from Horton, Port Eynon and Mumbles went to her assistance and all of the passengers were saved, mainly by being ferried to the shore in life boats.
The wrecked ship then remained where it had come to rest. There were several salvage attempts, which had varying degrees of success, and the hull was finally removed in July and August of 1984.
Second bit of footage concerns the naming ceremony of the RNLB Marie Winstone at Fishguard in 1981. This Arun class boat was stood down Nov 2001.

The piece at the end is presumably about a loss of life but do not know where from
