Kirkcudbright - At 5 p.m. on 29th July, 1967, it was reported that a boat hadgone ashore and broken up on the north side of Ross Bay. It was thought that the casualty might be the local motor fishing vessel Girl Ann which was out fishing at the time. The life-boat Mary Pullman was launched at 5.22 in a fresh south easterly breeze and a moderate sea. It was shortly after high water. On reaching the position indicated it was found that the boat which had gone ashore and broken up was the Terra Nova. Her crew of two had succeeded in scrambling safely to land. The search was then continued for the Girl Ann, which was found half a mile off Gipsy Point at 5.55 with her engine broken down. She was taken in tow to Kirkcudbright, and the life-boat returned to her station at 7.30..
