Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. At 10.50 on the evening of the 9th of March, 1960, the life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched at high water to go to the help of the local fishing vessel Anima- tion, which was in difficulties south of Rattray Head. There was a south- easterly gale with a very rough sea. The life-boat escorted the fishing vessel into Peterhead harbour, reaching her station at 12.15 early on the 10th of March.
