Dunbar, East Lothian - At 7.30 a.m.

on 15th June, 1967, it was learned that the motor fishing vessel Snowdrop which had grounded on Tynningham sands could not be refloated despite attempts by local fishing boats. It was imperative that she be refloated quickly before bumping aggravated the damage to her hull. The life-boat Margaret slipped her moorings at 8.20 in a light north westerly wind anda calm sea. The tide was flooding. The casualty was refloated at the first attempt and towed to Dunbar. The life-boat returned to her moorings at 10.20..
