Fishing Trawler At Saltcoats

From the newspaper "Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald, 25th May, 1962.
"Late last Thursday night, some people in Saltcoats were alarmed when a ship, close inshore, sounded its siren.
In the darkness the ship's lights appeared to be near the rocks at the Bathing Pond, but slowly the vessel moved out into deep water.
A pilot from Ardrossan Harbour later brought the ship - a fishing trawler - into Ardrossan."
