DOCTOR TO LIGHTVESSEL At 4.55 p.m. on 7th March, 1965, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that there was a sick man on board the Owers lightvessel and a request was made for the use of the life-boat to take out a doctor. At 5.15 the life-boat Canadian Pacific was launched with a doctor on board in light airs and a corresponding sea. The tide was ebbing.

The sick man was taken aboard the lifeboat and landed at Selsey where an ambulance conveyed him to hospital. The lifeboat returned to her station at 7.35..
