James Barrie SS, 666 ton British steam trawler, built 1949. 180ftx30ft. In ballast, Hull for Icelandic fishing grounds. Sunk: 29 March, 1969, when under tow by lifeboat after refloating from reef in Pentland Skerries. All saved. The MFV James Barrie ran aground at Louther Rock, situated on the south end of Orkney, piercing the hull and forcing the crew to abandon ship. Two days later, on the 29 March 1969, she floated off the rocks and started to drift, unmanned in the Pentland Firth. The lifeboat Grace Paterson Richie took the James Barrie in tow and headed for Scapa. However the Barrie sank whilst under tow.
