Aberdeen. At 3.22 p.m. on 2nd February, 1966, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the trawler Ross Fortune of Grimsby was nearly aground in Aberdeen Bay and had asked for assistance. The life-boat Ramsay Dyce left at 3.44 in a fresh easterly breeze and a very rough sea, one hour before low water. The life-boat came up with the vessel, which was dragging her anchor, and she was asked to pass a line to a tug, which could not come any closer to the Ross Fortune because there was not enough water. The tug Sea Griffon was passed a tow rope after several attempts, and the tug then towed the Ross Fortune safely back into Aberdeen harbour, the lifeboat returning to her station at 8.30 p.m..
