A fire broke out on Vision II in Fraserburgh Harbour
|
A memorial for three crewmen who died in a fire onboard their boat in Fraserburgh has been held.
Rimants Venckus, 50, from Latvia, and Filipinos Ramilito Capangpangan Calipayan and Benjamin Rosello Potot, both 33, died on Friday 1 August.
The service at Fraserburgh Old Parish Church was organised by the local branch of the Fishermen's Mission.
It also commemorated Filipino crewman Reynaldo Benitez, 29, who fell overboard from a prawn boat.
The fire which claimed the three lives was on the Vision II.
Mr Benitez drowned after he went overboard from the Fraserburgh boat New Dawn in August, off Wick.
Skipper Chaz Bruce told how he dived in after his colleague and friend, but was unable to save him.
New Dawn is featured on the current BBC Trawlermen documentary series.
