WHALER HAD CAPSIZED Gourdon, Kincardineshire. At 11.35 a.m. on 28th July, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a navaltype whaler had capsized off the Todhead lighthouse, throwing the six occupants into the sea. The tide had been rising for one hour. There was a moderate sea with a gentle south-westerly breeze. At 11.40 the life-boat The Edith Clauson-Thue was launched. At 12.20 p.m. she reached the upturned whaler and found that a local boat had already taken the six people ashore. The whaler was then towed to Gourdon harbour, and the life-boat returned to her station at 2.20..
