On August 21, the 30 meter long cargo/work vessel Leslie Anne (MMSI: 232002848) ran aground in Firth of Clyde in Scotland.  The Leslie Anne was at anchor in Millport Bay off  island of Great Cumbrae when the anchor line parted in strong winds. The vessel was pushed by the wind and was nearly washed ashore. Authorities were alerted and the RNLI lifeboat from Troon and the UK Coastguard rescue team from Cumbrae responded to the scene. No reports of injuries.

Reports state conditions of increased winds may have delayed any salvage of the Leslie Anne. The Leslie Anne had been working on flood prevention construction the island prior to the incident.
