Robb and twelve crew.16th October While fishing experienced boiler trouble, intended to put into Vestmannaeyjar but damage got progressively worse and decided to make for Reykjavik. At 2.10 a.m. Skagi Light was abeam and shortly after vessel struck the rocks Icelandic patrol boat responded to the distress call and took off entire crew. At 7.00 a.m. heavy seas were breaking over the vessel and there was no hope of salvage. |
| 1951 | 13th May Board of Trade Formal Investigation (No. S.418), the Court found that the casualty was due to the default of her Skipper Albert S H Robb in respect that he left the vessel in charge of two uncertificated members of the crew whilst navigating close to a dangerous coast. Bearing in mind Skipper Robb’s many years of good service at sea his ticket was suspended for six months |
