In October 1974, finding no berth in Oban, the Wyre Majestic and her sister ship, the Defence attempted to steam to Fleetwood, north of Blackpool. The story goes that at around eight in the evening the trawler strayed off course and hit the rocks at Rubha a' Mhail. For eleven long days the skipper stayed aboard attempting to free the vessel. All to no avail, as the Majestic sits stricken on the rocks at Bunnahabhain to this day. This exclusive expression of Bunnahabhain was filled to Spanish Manzanilla sherry butts in 2004.
