Montrose, Angus. At ten o'clock on the morning of the 15th of March, 1960, conditions at the harbour entrance were very bad. A strong easterly wind was blowing, and the sea was very rough.

It was clear that the motor fishing vessels Angus Rose and Rose Mary would have difficulty in entering, and the life-boat The Good Hope was launched at 10.20. Both vessels were safely escorted into harbour on the flood tide, and the life-boat reached her station at 12.55. The owner of the Angus Rose made a donation to the Institution's funds. Rewards to the crew, £10 10s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 16s..
