Unity
Mallaig, Inverness-shire.—At 11.5 on the night of the 22nd of March,-1954, the Southend coastguard reported that the motor fishing boat Unity, of Inverness, which had a crew of eight, had wirelessed that she had gone aground off the cliffs south of Ardna- murchan Point. At 11.35 the life-boat Sir Arthur Rose put out. The sea was moderate, and a moderate breeze was blowing from the north-east. The life-boat found nothing south of Ard- namurchan and asked the skipper of the Unity by wireless to confirm the position. He corrected it to Calaich Point, Mull, and at five o'clock on the morning of the 23rd the life-boat found the Unity on a ledge of rock half a mile south of Calaich Point. She was broadside to the shore, listing heavily and bumping badly. The life-boat manoeuvred through the rocks, passed a line to her, using her heaving cane, and took her in tow. The Unity refloated on the rising tide and the life-boat towed her to Tobermory, reaching her station again at 2.5 in the afternoon.—Property Salvage Case..
