Morning Star of Fraserburgh
My wife's grandfather James Shand was a partner owner of the fishing vessel Morning Star from 1907 to 1916 when she struck a mine and was sunk with all hands, including James' business partner and his partner's son.
Does anyone know any more about this incident?

Morning star
Thank you very much, Hugh!
You are a star, Shipmate. The mystery of what Morning Star was doing in the Adriatic is now perfectly clear. Come round...
