Buckie, Banffshire - At 2 p.m. on 4th May, 1966, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a boat had been reported to be drifting approximately four miles north-west of Buckie.

The life-boat Laura Moncur left her moorings in Buckie Harbour at 2.10 in a moderate south-easterly wind and a choppy sea. It was two hours after high water. The life-boat reached the drifting vessel, which was the lobster fishing boat Rose, at 2.30. She required assistance as her engine had broken down. A tow-line was passed to the Rose at 2.35, and the life-boat towed her back to Buckie harbour, arriving at 3.10 p.m. She returned to her moorings twenty minutes later..
