How on earth was that allowed to happen. Two sets of watchkeepers asleep?

She was a Blyth Boat, I remember seeing her in the South Harbour.

It rang a bell for another reason though.

On the 5th May 1978 the Fishing Boat Dagny, skippered by Bobby Watson brought up the engine of a Dornier which had been shot down 4 Miles East of Blyth on the 15th February 1942.
