Maria, of Ymuiden

APRIL 13TH. - ABERDEEN. News was received that a vessel was ashore on Aberdeen beach, and at 7 in the morning the No. 1 motor life-boat Emma Constance was launched. The easterly breeze was light, but there was a heavy swell with a breaking surf.

It was foggy. The life-boat found the Dutch trawler Maria, of Ymuiden, stranded, stood by her, and, as the tide rose, ran out two anchors for her. The trawler refloated and went to Aberdeen, and the life-boat returned to her station at 1.30 that afternoon. - Property salvage case.
