The S.S. Dunja

Arranmore, Co. Donegal.—About half past two in the afternoon of the 23rd of October, 1949, information was received that a vessel in ballast was on the rocks off Kincasslagh, and the life-boat K.T.J.S. was launched at 2.45 in a rough sea, with a north-westerly breeze blowing. She found the S.S. Dunja, of Copenhagen, with a crew of ten and a pilot on board, and her engines broken down. At the request of the master the life-boat towed her to Burtonport harbour, arriving back at her station at nine o'clock that night.—Property Salvage Case..
