Douglas RNLI lifeboat volunteer crew members were paged at 9.24pm yesterday evening (Thursday 11th September) to a report of a person in the sea off the Victoria Pier.
The RNLI all-weather lifeboat Sir William Hillary was launched under the command of volunteer coxswain Neal Corran who proceeded to the seaward side of the Victoria Pier where the person was successfully located. The casualty was recovered to the lifeboat and taken immediately to the Liner Berth inside the harbour to a waiting ambulance.
The lifeboat then returned to the boathouse to be washed down, re-fuelled and was ready again for service at 10.15pm
Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer with the RNLI as lifeboat crew, shore helper, or fundraiser should contact their nearest lifeboat station.
