Arbroath, Angus. At one o'clock on the afternoon of the 26th of February, 1960, the fishing boat White Rose, which was returning from the fishing grounds, was seen by the coxswain to be off the harbour bar in a confused sea.

As she was thought to be in a dangerous position the life-boat The Duke of Montrose was launched at 1.20 in a heavy swell. It was half an hour after high water. The life-boat escorted the White Rose into harbour and reached her station at 2.15. Rewards to the crew, £8 15s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 16s..
