Trawler Aground Twice

Trawler Aground Twice

The trawler Tavener went aground twice on a single day.  The Tavener first went aground off the entrance to the Colne River, England.  The vessel was able to refloat itself when the tide changed.  The Tavener went aground later that day off  the entrance of the Blackwater River near Tollesbury, England.  The vessel was contacted by the RNLI lifeboat from West Mersea who found the two crew on the Tavener were safe.  The Walton RNLI lifeboat was requested the next day to assist in refloating the trawler, but it was decided to wait a few days for favorable tides.

RNLI 2 Trawlers 0

The RNLI lifeboats rescued two trawlers that became disabled.  The Islay and Campbeltown lifeboats were dispatched to the trawler Rambling Rose which was disabled after its engine failed while off the Island of Gigha, Scotland.  The Rambling Rose was later able to restart its engine and proceeded to Kennacraig escorted by the Campbeltown lifeboat.  The Tobermory lifeboat was dispatched to the aid of the trawler Gangwarily.   The Gangwarily had suffered engine failure while off Gunna Sound, Tiree.  The Tobermory lifeboat took the trawler under tow and proceeded to Arinagour.   No reports of injuries, damage or pollution being released in either incident.

Arcturus

The 12 meter long trawler Arcturus became disabled near the entrance to the harbour of Eyemouth, Scotland.  The trawler’s engine failed and the master contacted Forth Coastguard.  The RNLI lifeboat from Eyemouth responded and took the Arcturus under tow into the harbour.  None of the three crew on board were injured.  The Arcturus was returning from a fishing trip before the engine failed.  No reports of damage or pollution being released.
