Stornoway's Arun SirMaxAitken Is pictured from aboard the stranded merchant vessel Golf Star as the lifeboat stands by in worsening weather on 21 October 1995.

The Antiguan registered Golf Star was on passage from Arklow to Germany when she struck rocks off Scalpay, some 28 miles south of the station.

Her crew of eight and another five salvage workers were taken off by helicopter when the weather worsened and the lifeboat was unable to get alongside the casualty. She could not be refloated before gales damaged her further and she was considered beyond economical repair..
