A handsome yacht emerges from a rescued Scottish herring drifter

摘要

On a cold and windy Thursday morning in November 1993, two traditional Northeast Scotland fishing boats approached the village of Scalloway in the Shetland Islands. An American, Alan Buchan, stood on the pier awaiting their arrival, trying to keep warm as best he could in near-gale conditions. Usually these boats' crews returned to port on Saturday afternoons to off-load the week's catch, observe the Sabbath with family, and reprovision. This week, by chance, these boats came in early so their crews could attend a funeral.
