The S.S. Wilh. Colding (1)

INJURED MAN BROUGHT ASHORE Peterhead, Aberdeenshire.—Just before noon on the 23rd of August, 1947, the coastguard reported a message from the S.S. Wilh. Colding, of Copenhagen, which three days previously had been in collision and had been beached three and a half miles south of Rattray.

The message was that one of her men had been badly injured. With a doctor on board, the motor life-boat Julia Park Barry, of Glasgow, was launched at 12.5 in a dense fog, with a light easterly breeze blowing and a calm sea. She brought the injured man. ashore and returned to her station just after one o'clock in the afternoon.—Rewards, £7 10». 6d..
