The
trawler James Barrie sank in Hoxa Sound in Scapa Flow
28.March 1969 under a journey to Hull in England. At
Louther Rock the ship hit ground and damaged her hull, and
started immediately to take in water. The crew was forced
to abandon ship shortly afterwards, and then James Barrie
was left on her own to drift in the current, but still she
dint sink. It was decided to make an attempt to rescue
her. The British ship Grace Paterson Ritchie took her
under tow and headed for Scapa, but outside Widewall Bay
it all went wrong. The wreck rest on a depth of 35 to 44
meter south of Hoxa Head.
