Rough Sea for Coast Guard Training
November 2009
A pair of 47' foot Coast Guard lifeboats were filmed doing rescue manuvers at the Checto River Bar entrance during rough seas. Wave heights were close to 11' feet at the river bar entrance. The coast guard also deployed a DUMMY during the rescue training.

Donaghadee Lifeboat Station 1910 onwards
In 1904, after a number of shipwrecks off the North Down coast, it was agreed that a new Lifeboat station was needed. Situated near to the entrance to Belfast Lough and right beside the major shipping lanes, Donaghadee, with its beautiful harbour was deemed the ideal spot.
A team of local businessmen along with many from the fishing industry and other boatmen set up a base and went about financing a Lifeboat station and a Lifeboat. On 10th July 1910 Donaghadee received her first Lifeboat, the “William & Laura”, a Watson Class with sails,10 oars and a 40hp petrol engine. It cost the princely sum of £3599 and during her time with the RNLI, she launched 61 times, saving 65 lives.
Nowadays, Donaghadee is home to one of the most modern Lifeboats in the world, a Trent Class, costing around £1.3m. There are no sails or oars but with a top speed of around 25 knots and an operating distance of over 100 miles, “Saxon” is equipped to carry out sea rescues in even the very worst of conditions, all over the Irish Sea and beyond.
Training takes place in the Boathouse, on the Lifeboat itself and at our superb Lifeboat College in Poole in Dorset. Crews are trained to a very high standard in sea rescue and survival, fire containment, engineering, navigation and boat handling skills.
You can be sure that when a 999 call comes through to Donaghadee that a well trained crew in a modern fast Lifeboat will be on its way to you within minutes.
History
1910
A lifeboat named William and Laura sailed for her station via the east coast and Forth and Clyde Canal.
In September the inauguration ceremony of the new lifeboat was held and Mr Charles Dunbar Butler, President of the branch and Miss Slade representing the late donor, handed the lifeboat over to the branch and named her.
1917 Coxswain William G Nelson drowned whilst out fishing.
1941 Bronze Medal awarded to Coxswain Samuel Nelson for the rescue of seven of the crew of nine of the ss Coastville wrecked on rocks at Ballymacormick Point on 21 November 1940 and nine of the crew of 43 of the steamer Hope Star which went aground at Ballyholme Bay on 6 December 1940.
1949 Coxswain Andrew White retired after serving for nearly 32 years as coxswain during which time over 80 lives were rescued.
1953 Bronze Medal awarded to Coxswain Hugh Nelson for the courage, skill and initiative shown on the occasion of the wreck of the vehicle/passenger ferry Princess Victoria which sank in a raging gale on 31 January 1953 approximately seven miles east of the entrance to Belfast Lough. The disaster to the Princess Victoria, with 176 passenger on board, was the greatest suffered by any British merchant vessel in peace time for a quarter of a century. Coxswain Nelson took 29 survivors from a ships lifeboat, one man from another boat and one from a raft. The British Empire Medal was awarded to Coxswain Hugh Nelson in recognition of this service. The Portpatrick lifeboat also attended this service and the coxswain received the same medals.

1985 Waveney class lifeboat withdrawn and replaced by an Arun class lifeboat.
1991 Her Majesty The Queen has honoured ex Coxswain William Lennon in her Birthday Honours List for services to the Institution; the award being the British Empire Medal.
1998 Boathouse extension was completed in February.
2002 Her Majesty The Queen has honoured Mr Thomas ‘Walker’ Simpson, Deputy Coxswain/Mechanic, with a MBE in her Birthday Honours.
2003 The new Trent class lifeboat ON1267 Saxon was placed on service 17 April 2003. This lifeboat was funded by the legacy of Mrs Freda Rivers in memory of her late husband. Lifeboat ON1107 City of Belfast has been withdrawn to the relief fleet.
2009 The Trustees voted the award of a Centenary Vellum to the station on 2010.
2010 The Thanks of the Institution inscribed on Vellum was accorded to Coxswain Philip McNamara in recognition of his courage, leadership, determination and boat handling when the lifeboat under his command saved the lives of three elderly crew members of the yacht Bentim Buoys on 13 September 2009. The yacht, which was also saved, was aground on rocks near to Craigbrain. The service, during the early hours of the morning, was conducted close to a rock strewn lee shore in shoaling waters and poor weather.

Two Bronze Medals have been awarded. The last being voted in 1953.
FOREIGN AWARDS
Crew were awarded Silver Medals and Diplomas by French Government re rescue of six men from the lugger Cyrano of Brest in 1915.
Titanic Survivor Claims an Iceberg Didn't Destroy the Ship
Have you ever met a person who hasn’t ever heard the story of Titanic? Unlikely. Even if you ask a 10-year-old, they’ll tell you exactly what took down the gigantic ship. However, some survivors of the sinking legend would beg to differ. Here’s one of their stories, and it has nothing to do with an iceberg.
Armenian publicist Vaghinak Byurat was 25 years old in the spring of 1912. He described what happened on his journey to America on the most famous ship in the world in his memoirs. He’s never mentioned an iceberg hitting the Titanic, and always spoke about an explosion. And if what he said was true, something must have caused that huge explosion...
???? Btw, guys, there is a cat hidden in this video. If you can spot our furry little guy, you're much more attentive than most people! Do you accept the challenge? ????

SUMMARY:
- Armenian publicist Vaghinak Byurat was 25 years old in the spring of 1912. He described what happened on his journey to America on the most famous ship in the world in his memoirs.
- In 1912, Vaghinak published some books together with his father, a famous Armenian writer. His task was to take the books to America.
- They went to bed rather late on April 14, just like on the other nights. Shortly after midnight, something that sounded like a big explosion woke everyone up.
- None of the crew members wanted to say anything, but a few minutes later it was impossible to deny that the Titanic was going underwater.
- Vaghinak put his passport and money in a little bag and tied it around his neck. The Titanic’s bow was already underwater by that time. A lot of people in this situation wouldn’t have dared to take it to the open water.
- The water in the North Atlantic that night was just below freezing, at a scary 28 degrees Fahrenheit (-2 C). The young writer felt his arms and legs go numb, and he was understandably getting weaker and weaker every second.
- Then, he bumped into something. It was a lifeboat! But it was so overcrowded they pushed the young man with a paddle when he tried to stick to the boat.
- Vaghinak woke up alive on board another ship. That ship was the Carpathia, and it was en route to New York with lucky survivors on board.
- 12 days later, a woman came into the room. She turned out to be the person who saved Vaghinak. Missis Astor told the sailors that the young man was her son, and she wouldn’t let them go without him since she’d already lost her husband on the Titanic.
- Vaghinak lived a long and happy life and, as a great storyteller, he shared what happened to him many times. Interestingly, he’s never mentioned an iceberg hitting the Titanic, and always spoke about an explosion.
- It could have been a fire, and quite a lot of people actually believe that theory, saying that coal was burning in the ship’s hull.
- Another theory that explained the explosion claimed that there was a German U-boat involved in the sinking of Titanic.

WARTIME AIR SEA RESCUE ENGLISH CHANNEL
During the extensive Home Defence exercises carried out in the
summer of 1938 and 1939, landplanes had to fly over the sea and
special arrangements were made for air sea rescue. The RAF provided
special safety boats and destroyers were made available by the navy.
In addition, coastguards were instructed to keep special watch for any
distress signals. Civil aircraft equipped with radio and flying in the
area of a ditched aircraft could be called upon and asked to search for
missing aircrew.
RAF Bolt Head near Salcombe in South Devon became a key location for a base for air sea rescue aircraft and together with the RAF Rescue Launches based in Salcombe Harbour a very organised and cohesive sevice was able to effect efficient rescue of air crew from the Engish Channel.
The Sea Rescue Organisation put into force in August 1940,
valuable though it had proved in the Battle of Britain, was still found
to be seriously wanting in many respects, as the demands placed on it
increased.
Over the next two years the improved organisation, the increasing
availability of dedicated air sea rescue squadrons, the expansion of the
fleet of more capable RAF and Royal Navy rescue launches, and the
development of survival aids led to more rescues.
Special Thanks to Air Commodore Graham Pitchfork.

Storm Arwen Batters St Ives, Cornwall, UK
27/11/21 Storm Arwen hits the UK.
I decided to head down the road to St Ives to see how Storm Arwen was behaving. These were definitely some of the strongest winds I've ever experienced in Cornwall but I've seen much bigger waves during other storms at St Ives. I decided to film on my handheld rig which is why some of the shots are a bit shaky but considering the gale force winds the footage hasn't turned out too badly. I also had a little bit of help from 'Warp Stabilizer' in Premiere Pro :-)
I hope you enjoy my video. Please like, share, and subscribe if you did. Cheers.

We spent a night on a LIFEBOAT in Southampton! Is this a good pre-cruise option?!
You like unique accommodation? Look no further! We stayed on a lifeboat for a night in Ocean Village, Southampton, U.K.! This is a reconditioned RNLI Rig Lifeboat used on an actual North Sea rig! How cool is that?! It’s moored here in Southampton opposite the 5 star Harbour Hotel and Spa. The big questions you probably have are 1) is it claustrophobic 2) is it stable 3) can you wee wee and poo poo 4) is there a shower 5) will you get a good night’s sleep 6) what’s the location like 7) is there parking 8) are there restaurants and bars nearby 9) is it near the cruise terminals 10) is there any storage space? Well, I’m going to answer all of these questions and more, plus we check out dinner, drinks and breakfast at the Harbour Hotel too. So, strap in and let’s get to the rescue!

STORMY WEATHER (STORM AURORE)
When it's not dark or foggy but you can't see much of the harbour. I've often wondered what the Night of the Cintra Gale was like and now I know. Our coastguard station reported wind speeds of 71.3 knots, Force 12 on the Beaufort scale.
