Accidents and Incidents

From the West Wales Guardian of Friday 8th April 1932:

 

    The Milford steam trawler Macaw, which went on the rocks off the south coast of Ireland, has been successfully refloated, and arrived in Milford Haven on Friday last.  The Ramsgate drifter trawler Resplendent, which works out of this port, has shared a similar fate on the Irish coast.  She too has been refloated and brought back to Milford.  Both vessels have since sailed round to Cardiff to undergo the necessary repairs, which are considerable.
