Marjory Brown

MONTROSB, FORFARSHIRE.—About 6.20 A.M., on the 21st February, rockets were fired from Scurdyness, indicating that the services of the Life-boat were needed. The crew were summoned, and in about ten minutes the Life-boat Sarah Jane Turner was launched, and proceeding to the Annat Bank found the fishing boat Marjory Brown, of Montrose, stranded there, striking heavily and the heavy seas washing over her. The Life-boat shipped a very heavy sea, but managed to rescue the five fishermen, and landed them at 7.30.

Later in the day the Life-boat again went to the vessel at the request of the owners and assisted to bring her safely into the river..
