Dineiddwg

Aberdeen. At 11.50 p.m. on 2nd April, 1965, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the trawler Dineiddwg of Aberdeen had grounded at Girdleness in thick fog. The life-boat Ramsay-Dyce proceeded at 12.20 a.m. in a light south-westerly breeze and a slight sea. It was two hours and a half before high water. The life-boat found the trawler, with a crew of seven, on the rocks. She was towed clear by the lifeboat which then escorted her safely into harbour. The life-boat reached her station at 1.15 a.m..
