Progress
Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. At 9.10 on the evening of the 13th of September, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that red flares had been observed off Buchan Ness. The life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow left her moorings at 9.30 at high water in a moderate south-westerly wind and a moderate swell. She reached the small fishing yawl Progress, which was manned by a father and his son, at 9.55 and found her drifting towards rocks with her propeller fouled. The life- boat took the yawl in tow to Peterhead, where she arrived at 10.15. She reached her station at 10.25. Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 8s..
