FISHING VESSEL'S CREW TAKEN OFF ROCKS Wick, Caithness-shire. At 7.26 on the morning of the 30th May, 1963, Wick coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the fishing vessel Seonaid of Lybster with two people on board was sinking half a mile south of the Old Man of Wick. At 7.35 the life-boat City of Edinburgh was launched in a light breeze and a calm sea. It was an hour and a quarter after high water. There was thick fog. At 8.5 the life-boat found the Seonaid ashore on Slatey Face two miles south of Wick. Her crew of two had abandoned her and were stranded on a rock at the foot of the cliffs. The lifeboat took the two men on board and returned to Wick, where she arrived at 8.23..
