Brigantine ran aground
The ' La Malouine' has beached in Ramsey Bay after breaking anchor 20 metres down in the bay on the night of April 22, 2026. The brigantine had been anchored offshore after being unable to enter Ramsey Harbour due to a lack of capacity. During the previous two days the winds had steadily increased. After conditions became rough on the night of April 20, the owner John Kerr moved his ship to the north side of the pier where it was slightly sheltered. But when the weather further deteriorated on April 21, with winds stronger than forecast, he could not return to the ship, as it was deemed too dangerous. The ship was caught by the easterly winds and ended up in the sands between Queen's Pier and the Arches. The vessel has remained upright, where the seabed conditions had helped to stabilise it. A plan waa currently being worked on to refloat the ship, but it waslikely that would not be until May 16, when suitable tidal conditions were expected again. The Isle of Man Coastguard's sked people to stay well clear of a tall ship.

Tall shio towed to Glencaple
An inshore rescue team has been called out to take the disabled "La Malounie" to port on Jan 21, 2019. The alarm was raised at about 10:50 after the 70-tonne vessel suffered a mechanical breakdown off Carsethorn in Dumfries and Galloway. The Nith Inshore Rescue Team was tasked by the Coastguard to tow the vessel which was adrift with mechanical failure and loss of steering in the Nith estuary. The lifeboat quickly launched and commenced a tow, aided with the tidal flow. The tallship was safely berthed at Glencaple for repairs.
