At 9.4 a.m. on 28th October, 1965, a small fishing boat was reported in trouble off Dunrobin Castle, Golspie. The lifeboat Lilla Marras, Douglas and Will proceeded at 9.22 in a violent southwesterly storm and a very rough sea. It was one and a half hours after low water.

At 9.48 a message was received that the fishing boat had sunk off Golspie harbour and the life-boat was not required.

She was recalled, but was later requested to escort eight fishing vessels to harbour.

The life-boat returned to her station at 2.10 p.m..
