On the morniag of the 16th February the fish-steamer Fulmar, of Wexford, was observed ashore on the Dogger Bank.

The wind was moderate, but the sea was rough, due to the strong S.S.W.

gale of the previous night. In response to her signals of distress the Life-boat James Stevens No. 15 was sent to her assistance. The Life-boat lay near at hand, whilst every effort was made to try and get the vessel off, but in spite of the assistance given by a tug which had also come out all attempts failed.

After high water it was found that the steamer was making water and would eventually become a total wreck; the Life-boat therefore rescued the crew of seven, and both she and the tug returned ashore..
