SS Aberdonian, intending to tie up at Skinningrove Jetty, overshot and grounded on Wednesday 18th June 1930 at Cowbar, she was re-floated at high tide on 22nd June 1930.
From information found on the web: the SS Aberdonian was built on the Clyde in 1909 by D & W Henderson and registered at Aberdeen by the Aberdeen Steam Navigation Company. She served as a hospital ship during the first World War, evacuating casualties from France after the disaster of the Somme on the 1st July 1916 and as a Depot Ship at Fort William in 1940.
