Raphael Gabrielle
BELGIAN TRAWLER AGROUND Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. Information was received from the coastguard at 7.8 on the evening of Friday the 6th September, 1963, that the 54-ton Belgian trawler Raphael Gabrielle, loaded with fish, was aground a quarter of a mile off Rattray Head. The life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched at 7.24 and helped lay out anchors from the trawler. She later helped tow her clear of the rocks. It was the third hour of the ebb with smooth seas. The operation was completed at 2.15 on the morning of the 7th, and the life-boat was finally rehoused at seven o'clock on the evening of the 9th September..
