Pennan

Mallaig, Inverness-shire. — At 9.50 on the night of the 29th of August, 1950, a message was received that the motorfishing vessel Pennan, of Fraserburgh, was on a rock near the western entrance to Mallaig harbour. Ten minutes later the life-boat Sir Arthur Rose left her moorings in a slight swell and light south-westerly breeze. She found the Pennan, with a crew of three, almost high and dry, and pulling her clear, towed her into harbour, arriving at ten minutes past eleven. The skipper of the vessel expressed his thanks.— Rewards, £4 10s..
