The Faroese Fishing Vessel Albert Victor

APRIL 15TH. - ABERDEEN, NORTH PIER LIFE-SAVING APPARATUS. At 5.30 in the afternoon a request was received to land a salvage party from the Faroese fishing vessel Albert Victor. She was ashore in Aberdeen Bay and the Aberdeen No. 1 life-boat had rescued nine people from her on the 10th of April. A light easterly breeze was blowing, with a moderately heavy ground swell, and surf on the beach. At 5.40 the North Pier Life-saving Apparatus left the station and at six o’clock fired a line to the Albert Victor and hauled the salvage party ashore. It returned to its station at seven o’clock. - Rewards, £7 19s. 6d..
