| Notes | Running for shelter in heavy weather and very poor visibility, when she ran aground at Huna Floi. Skipper Robert Robb and his 10 man crew took to their lifeboat and managed to land on a small beach aftes a 2 hour row. Because they could see no sign of any habitation, they returned to their boat and rowed for a further 7 miles until they came across a small settlement. From there it was a 2 day journey to Reykjavik where they were able to be shipped home.
