TRAWLER GROUNDED Howth, Co. Dublin. At 6.21 a.m. on 23rd March, 1965, the Baily lighthouse keeper informed the honorary secretary that the 60 foot trawler Xmas Morn of Howth had grounded on Skerries Island inside Rockabill. At 6.50 the life-boat A.M.T. proceeded in a fresh north easterly breeze and a rough sea. It was three hours after high water. The life-boat reached the position at 8.35 and found the trawler high and dry on a lee shore on the north side of Shinnick island. There were three fishing vessels in the area and the life-boat stood by until attempts could be made to refloat the Xmas Morn. At 1.15 p.m. towing lines were secured from the life-boat to the trawler and eventually the Xmas Morn refloated. The life-boat returned to her station at 4.50..
