Lord Wakefield

Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire.—On the 18th December, 1938, at 1.24 P.M., the coastguard reported that the steam trawler Lord Wakefield was making for harbour where there was not sufficient water. A heavy sea was running, with strong S.E. wind and hail showers.

When signalled not to enter harbour the trawler asked for a boat to land a sick man. The motor life-boat John and Charles Kennedy was launched at 2 P.M. and put a doctor on the trawler.

She then took off the sick man and brought him ashore, arriving at 3 P.M.
