Stricken crew rescued by Scarfskerry rocket company
From the Groat of January 7, 1921
The SS Kentucky, of Copenhagen, had been carrying goods and mails on a voyage from Copenhagen to Boston, USA, when it ran ashore at Skirza Head, Freswick.
At the time the sea was too rough for reaching the vessel with a boat, and it increased during the night. But about midnight the rocket apparatus crew from Scarfskerry, along with the divisional officer of coastguards from Dunnet Head, arrived on the scene.
