The Aberdeen Steam Trawler Scot

Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.

—At 9.25 in the morning of the 29th of November, 1948, the coastguard re- ported a vessel apparently aground close iivto the south east of the look-out, and the motor life-boat Louise Stephens was launched at 10.14. The weather was calm, but very foggy. The life- boat found the Aberdeen steam trawler Scot, with a crew of ten and a load of fish, laid out an anchor for her, and stood by until, with the rising tide, the trawler got off at half past four. The life-boat 'escorted her into harbour, which was reached at 5.30 in the after- noon.—Property Salvage Case..
