Arbroath, Angus - At 6.17 p.m. on 27th March, 1967, three crew members of the fishing boat Drena were seen to be waving their oilskins to attract attention.

The Drena was lobster fishing in a position about half a mile from Arbroath harbour. The life-boat Duke of Montrose was launched at 6.24 and soon came up with the Drena which had lost her propeller. There was a moderate south easterly breeze with a choppy sea. It was two hours after high water. The lifeboat took the fishing boat in tow and brought her safely into harbour, returning to her station at seven o'clock..
