Bluebell

Dunbar, Haddingtonshire. — Shortly before 6 o'clock in the morning of the 16th of September, 1948, a message was received from the coastguard that the motor fishing boat Bluebell, of Port Seton, had broken down nine miles to the north-east, and at six o'clock the motor life-boat George and Sarah Strachan was launched, in a fresh westerly wind with a rough sea. She found the fishing boat eleven miles south-south-east of Fifeness with a crew of seven, towed her into Dunbar harbour and returned to her station at 11 o'clock.—Property Salvage Case..
