The
trawler James Barrie went down in Hoxa Sound 28.March 1969
under a journey to Hull in England. At Louther Rock she
hit ground and punctured her hull. The crew was forced to
abandon ship shortly afterwards, and James Barrie was left
alone to drift in the current, butl she didn't 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 Flow, but outside Widewall Bay it all went wrong
and she disappeared in the deep. The wreck rest today on a
depth of 35 to 43 meter south of Hoxa Head.
