Ocean Star
Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. At 9.28 on the evening of the 19th of August, 1958, the coxswain intercepted a mes- sage from the trawler Ocean Star of Lerwick that she was in broken water near the rocks not far from Peterhead harbour and needed help. At 9.49 the life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched in a slight swell. A light south-easterly wind was blowing and the tide was ebbing. The position of the trawler was given as one mile north-east of Buchanness. The life- boat found her and escorted her in dense fog to harbour, which was reached at 11.10. The life-boat was rehoused the next day. Rewards to the crew, £7 10s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 8s..
