Medevac off Caldey Island
The Tenby all-weather lifeboat was launched on June 7, 2015, at 5:48 p.m. oafter a report from the "Lord Nelson" that a 62 year old man had gone over on his ankle, suffering a cut to the back of his head approx. 10 miles south of Caldey Island. The volunteer crew made best speed to the vessel. Whilst the lifeboat was en route, the casualty began slipping in and out of consciousness so it was decided by Milford Haven Coastguard that an RAF Seaking rescue helicopter would be the best option for evacuating him. Once alongside the vessel, three RNLI crew members went aboard the "Lord Nelson" with a stretcher to assess the casualty. Luckily, there was a nurse on board that had been attending to him so he was all ready to be placed into a stretcher and taken aboard the lifeboat. The helicopter was soon on scene and winched the casualty up and transferred him to Morriston hospital.

Lord Nelson first tall ship on world round trip with a crew of disabled
The "Lord Nelson" on Oct 21, 2012 set sail to become the first vessel of its kind to voyage around the world with a crew of disabled sailors. The "Lord Nelson" at 1.30 p.m. left from Southampton, Hampshire, for its 23-month, 50,000-mile journey. About 150 people waving Union flags lined the dock to bid farewell to the ship, which was accompanied by a small flotilla of yachts as it sailed out of Southampton Water. It is the first tall ship to have been built to enable physically-disabled and able-bodied people to sail side-by-side, and it will visit more than 30 countries on all seven continents and cross the equator four times during the trip.
