The Dramatic Moment As Coxswain Hewitt Clark Brings Soldian

The dramatic moment as Coxswain Hewitt Clark brings Soldian alongside the sinking Boy Andrew to snatch the survivors to safety. The helicopter winchman is about to make his leap for the lifeboat in this photograph — he slipped and fell between the boats and only the coxswain's immediate use of full power to pull the lifeboat clear saved him from being crushed between the boats.
