Girvan, Ayrshire. At six o'clock on the evening of the 23rd of June, 1959, while the life-boat Robert Lindsay was returning to her station after her overhaul at Gourock the coxswain saw a motor vessel stranded on the Brest Rocks south of Tumberry Point. There was a light easterly breeze and a smooth sea. The tide was ebbing. Thick fog had reduced visibility almost to nil.

The stranded vessel was the motor fishing vessel Harvest Hope, whose skipper informed the coxswain that he was awaiting the arrival of another boat which was coming to help him. The life-boat stood by until this boat helped to refloat the Harvest Hope.

She then continued on her passage to Girvan, arriving at 2.15 on the morning of the 24th. No additional rewards to the crew. Reward to the helper on shore, 12s..
