Lifeboat Disaster

Post by Rowana »

I remember it well. I was 12 at the time. We lived near Carnoustie where the boat was washed up. All 8 crew lost their lives. We will never forget them.

"In 11 years of operating the Mona and her crew had saved 118 lives. "
A sad end indeed. Interestingly, it must have been one of the earliest helicopter rescues (from the Lightship).
