Seton Queen

Dunbar, East Lothian - At 6.39 p.m.

on 22nd March, 1967, the motor fishing vessel Seton Queen was reported to be running short of fuel. She had been fishing between Barr Rock and May Island and was overdue. This had been reported by the motor fishing vessel Kittywake. A helicopter from Leuchars took off at 6.39 and the life-boat Margaret slipped her moorings at 6.48 in a westerly wind and a slight sea. The helicopter reported that the fishing vessel was heading towards Dunbar under her own power. The life-boat found the vessel about seven miles north of Dunbar and escorted her into the harbour accompanied by the Kittywake.

She returned to her station at 8.10..
