Unwell Skipper and his boat saved by HMS Mersey
HMS "Mersey" on June 7, 2011, rushed to the aid of a fishing vessel after its skipper became ill. The "Mersey was on routine fishery protection patrols about 20 miles south-west of Rye, East Sussex, when she heard a distress call to Dover coastguard at 10.20 a.m. The ship’s offer of help was accepted by the coastguard and her seaboat was launched immediately to assist the 10-metre vessel "Christy Ann", which was 12 miles away. First-aiders stabilised the unwell skipper, and 10 minutes later the coastguard rescue helicopter based at Lee-on-the-Solent arrived and winched the man to Eastbourne Hospital. A Mersey’s lieutenant then steered the vessel to Rye Harbour.
