Stornoway, Outer Hebrides. At 4 p.m. on 28th January, 1966, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that one of the local fishing fleet—the fishing vessel Seafarer—was in danger of drifting on to the lee shore off Grimishador, about three miles outside Stornoway harbour, as her engine had broken down. The life-boat, The James and Margaret Boyd, was launced at 4.20 in a south easterly gale force wind and a rough sea. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat came up with the Seafarer at 4.45 and after putting a tow rope aboard took her in tow into harbour, arriving at 5.30..
