INJURED CAPTAIN At 7.30 a.m. on i2th May, 1964, the coxswain heard from the honorary secretary that the life-boat would be needed to bring ashore the captain of the motor vessel Haminea of London who was badly injured. At 8.30 the life-boat Solomon Browne launched in a light south-westerly breeze and smooth sea. The tide was ebbing. After embarking a doctor and stretcher at Newlyn, the life-boat left again at 9 a.m. and met the Haminea 10 miles from Newlyn. The captain was taken on board and at Newlyn was transferred to an ambulance and taken to hospital.

The life-boat was rehoused at 5.30 p.m..
