What Crew Members Say About Lady-Debbie

In a remarkable turn of events, the crew of the tugboat 'Lady Debbie' came to the aid of three Vincentian fishermen stranded at sea for several days. The trio had drifted 190 miles west of Saint Vincent after their vessel experienced engine failure, leaving them without water and in dire straits. The fishermen had embarked on a fishing journey on May 30, 2021, but faced mechanical issues on June 1 that left them unable to navigate. Despite extensive search efforts by the Trinidad and Tobago Coastguard, the missing men remained elusive for days. Fortunately, as the 'Lady Debbie' was returning from towing a Dutch freighter, her crew spotted the distressed fishermen, who were severely dehydrated but survived by consuming the fish they had caught. After rescuing the trio and securing their damaged vessel, the 'Lady Debbie' continued on its journey, arriving in Fort de France on June 13, 2021, with the grateful fishermen aboard.
