FISHING VESSEL ESCORTED Aberdeen. At 3.42 p.m. on i3th January, 1965, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a fishing vessel, close inshore off Belhelvie coastguard look-out, appeared to be broken down. As there was a strong south-east breeze which would soon drive the vessel onshore it was decided to launch the lifeboat.

At four o'clock the life-boat Ramsey- Dyce proceeded in a rough sea. It was low water. The life-boat met the fishing vessel Jubilee of Aberdeen and escorted her back to port. The Skipper said that the fuel pipe had choked but their engineer had managed to clear it. The life-boat reached her station at 5.45..
