11.04.1984: Towed into Milford Docks on Friday morning by Angle lifeboat. The trawler’s nets had fouled her propeller near St. Govan’s Lightship, some 12 miles off the South Pembrokeshire coast. The Aberdeen-registered 50-ton trawler, with a four-man crew, radioed to coastguards for help because tides were causing her to drift out to sea. Angle lifeboat was launched and took the trawler in tow shortly after midnight.
1984: Decommissioned and broken up at Castle Pill, Milford.
