Accidents and Incidents

From the West Wales Guardian of Friday 14th March 1952:

 

    Messrs. Yolland Bros. announced on Thursday that they had sold their trawlers, the Lady Olwen and Lady June, to a Grimsby firm, and that both ships would leave immediately for the East Coast from Swansea, where they had gone for dry dock survey.

    The departure of these two trawlers, among the biggest in Milford, will be a very nasty blow, for it means that 30 men have directly lost their employment.  The June and Olwen are 140 foot long, and were completed in 1928 and 1926 respectively.
