Arbroath, Angus. At six o'clock on the evening of the 9th December, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a vessel was ashore half a mile east of Arbroath. The life-boat The Duke of Montrose was launched at 6.11 in calm weather. There was a slight swell and dense fog. It was two and a half hours before low water. There was not enough water to allow the life-boat to go alongside the vessel, which was the coaster Dominance of London, and she stood by until the Dominance re- floated at 11.20. The life-boat escorted the coaster to Dundee and then returned to her station, arriving at 12.30 early in the morning..
