Working Conditions Aboard the Sv-Le-Francais

In a dramatic rescue operation off the coast of Liverpool on the night of July 19, 2017, a crew member aboard the tall ship "Kaskelot" required medical assistance and was airlifted by the Coastguard. The urgent call prompted the deployment of Holylake's lifeboat crew along with a Coastguard helicopter, who responded to the incident at Liverpool Anchorage just after midnight. The all-weather lifeboat, named "Edmund Hawthorn Micklewood," was launched at 11:40 p.m. and reached the scene in Liverpool Anchorage within approximately 30 minutes. Upon arrival, two crew members from the lifeboat boarded the Kaskelot to stabilize the affected individual before carefully transferring him to the lifeboat itself. Shortly thereafter, Coastguard helicopter 936 arrived on site, lowering a paramedic onto the lifeboat to further assist with the situation. The crew member was then airlifted into the helicopter and transported to Aintree Hospital for further medical care, although his condition remains undisclosed.
