Seddon (1)

Stornoway, Hebrides. On the 11th of April, 1958, the agents for the trawler Seddon, which had stranded in Storno- way harbour on the 8th of April, wanted to run a kedge anchor out from her and asked if the life-boat would undertake this work. As there was no other vessel available, the honorary secretary agreed, and the life-boat J.J.K.S.W., on temporary duty at the station, put out at 11.15. The weather was calm and it was almost high water.

The anchor was laid and the life-boat reached her moorings at 12.30. No expense to the Institution..
