North Yorkshire lifeboat in midnight sea rescue

7:17pm Sunday 5th December 2010



SCARBOROUGH lifeboatmen staged a midnight sea rescue when a crew member of a Fishery Protection Vessel needed medical treatment.


The Jura alerted Humber Coastguard just after midnight on Saturday morning that one of its crew had been taken ill.


Scarborough’s all weather lifeboat Fisherman’s Friend, whose volunteer crew includes an ambulance paramedic, went out to the ship and brought the sick man back to Scarborough Harbour. The fishery protection crew member was then taken to hospital by ambulance.
