Glasgow And Ships Of The Clyde

From "Ayr Advertiser" dated 5th January 1950

Coaster Aground

The captain and seven members of the crew of the Glasgow coaster "Ardachy," were rescued by breeches buoy when their vessel ran aground off Irvine last week.
The breeches buoy was operated by Troon lifeboat, as rough seas made it too hazardous to take the men off in the ordinary manner.
