not the best of picture's for the site.
manx boat called the Laurel was dragged by a sub, the skipper shouted Portpatrick coastguard who shouted the naval base and they told the sub to surface, the sub surfaced and i think they got clear ok, luckily.
Happened so many times over the yrs remember in the mid 60s Linty was towing of Arran and started to get towed astern he ran out of thewheelhouse and realesed the winch brakes to stop the Marie from being pulled down .Never proven but afact
lucky he could run at that time and he hit the right brake
brand new wire went pinging aft hit the gallows and snapped cut like a knife
