A brief Summary of events
in 2005 |
|
| 27th December |
1302 ILB was launched to a vessel
aground up in the Wareham Channel.The ILB attempted a tow of the mast
of the 29ft yacht "Gemini" and successfully refloated her.
The yacht made her own way back to Cobbs Quay and the ILB returned
to Station. |
|
| 12th December |
18.50 both boats launched to a report
of a person in the water off Boscombe Pier. The casualty was out of
the water before the boats arrived on scene. Both boats were stood
down and returned to station. |
|
| 25th November |
13.35 The ILB was launched to a report
of two persons in the water at Redcliff Yacht Club up the Wareham
river. They had gone into the water due to an unstable tender. |
|
| 13th November |
20.14 Both boats launched to a report
of a car that had entered the water, off the slipway at the chain
ferry. Both boats arrived on scene at 20.30 at this stage it was uncertain
how many people where in the car. A major sea search was undertaken.
Search and rescue helicopters “Whiskey Bravo” and “India
Juliet” were on scene searching from the air. Alongside our
lifeboats there were three police boats, a pilot boat and a dredger
who was working in the area. On the land there were also mobile coastguards
units.
Our ALB was tasked to be on “scene commander” this meant
that all the search boats were coordinated by the ALB.
Just after 21.00hrs a patch of oil was spotted in the water and a
woman was found close to the “Hook Sands” by “Whiskey
Bravo”. A winchman recovered the casualty from the water and
she was taken to Whitecliff where an ambulance was standing by who
transferred the casualty to Poole hospital.
It remained impossible to ascertain how many people were in the car
so the searches intensified adding both Swanage lifeboats to the team.
The search continued into the early hours, until the authorities could
confidently state that there was only one occupant in the vehicle
after a positive identification of the casualty. This enabled Portland
Coastguard to terminate the search. Both Lifeboats returned to station
at around 3am. |
|
| 12th November |

of a suicidal person somewhere on the shore. The ILB was tasked to
