 Accidents and Incidents

From The Irish Times of 27th February 1928, p.7:

 

TRAWLER AGROUND ON SANDS

    The crew of the Hull trawler, Isle of Wight, had a thrilling experience on the Aberdeenshire coast on Saturday night, when their vessel grounded on the sands near the mouth of the River Ythan.

    The vessel was proceeding from Hull to the Moray Firth, and when off the Aberdeenshire coast, ran into a dense fog and slipped over a sandbank into a large sheet of water lying between the sandbank and the shore.  After drifting for about a mile the trawler stranded.  Distress signals were sent up, and the Belhelvie coastguards and the Newburgh and Aberdeen lifeboats went to the vessel's assistance.  The crew were ultimately rescued by the Newburgh lifeboat.
