| Further Information | The Aberdeen trawler Ben Loyal stuck in the mud next to the South Shields ferry landing. The boat had been caught in the wash of another ship and had been carried onto the mud as it was about to enter into the repair yard of the Tyne Dock Engineering Company for an overhaul. She was re-floated on the rising tide assisted by two launches. |
