Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. On the afternoon of the 18th of November, 1959, the skipper of the herring drifter Xmas Morn, on passage from Great Yarmouth to Fraserburgh, decided because of the weather conditions at Fraserburgh to enter Peterhead harbour.

The life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched at 2.10 to escort her in. It was high water, a strong gale was blowing from the east-south-east, and the sea was very rough. The life- boat escorted the Xmas Morn into harbour and reached her station at 3.10. Rewards to the crew, £9 ; re- wards to the helpers on shore, £3 8s.
