Star of The East
25th April
1930
The trawler "Star of the East"
ashore on "Ravenscar Rocks" while returning
to land a good catch of fish in her home port
of Scarborough.
Robin Hood's Bay lifeboat "Mary Ann Lockwood"
was launched at 03:00 to keep watch on the
stranded trawler until 10:15 by which time
she had been refloated on the high tide. This
was to be the last service call for the lifeboat,
the station was closed in April 1931 as motor
lifeboats were now stationed at Whitby and
Scarborough.
