The S.S. Trinity

Cromarty. — In the afternoon of the llth of November, 1951, the S.S.

Trinity, of Panama, wirelessed that she had been damaged and needed a pilot. She would be off Cromarty that night, and asked for a boat to meet her at eight o'clock next morning. A fresh south-easterly gale was blowing, with a very heavy swell. At 6.30 in the morning of the 12th the life-boat James Macfee was launched and met the Trinity, which was listing heavily, six miles east by north of Whistle Buoy. The coxswain boarded her and piloted her to a safe anchorage. The life-boat returned to her station at 10.30.—Rewards, £10 105..
