Battling the storm: The story of the rescue of the Hindlea by Moelfre Lifeboat

On 27 October 1959, an incredible rescue was undertaken by RNLI Moelfre Lifeboat in Anglesey. Braving hurricane-force winds, a makeshift crew of volunteers, including one shore helper who had never been out on a lifeboat before, successfully rescued those onboard the ship Hindlea before it was smashed on the rocks. For their heroic service, legendary Coxswain Richard ‘Dic’ Evans was awarded the first of his two RNLI Gold Medals, a Silver Medal to Mechanic Evan Owens and Bronze Medals to Donald Francis, Hugh Owen and Hugh Jones, on his first shout.

Whether you're stuck on a sinking ship, cut off by a rapidly rising tide, or in the water and close to drowning, RNLI crew members will drop everything to come to your rescue. 95% of RNLI lifeboat crews and station staff are volunteers. But it’s not just lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards patrol 248 beaches across the UK and Channel Islands, keeping people safe, providing safety advice and rescuing those in trouble. Education volunteers visit schools and swimming clubs to help teach the next generation how to enjoy the water safely. And volunteer fundraisers and shop workers give up their time to generate vital funds. The RNLI is also working to help communities around the world that are most at risk of drowning. If you spot someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard. - - Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), a charity registered in England and Wales (209603), Scotland (SC037736), the Republic of Ireland (20003326), the Bailiwick of Jersey (14), the Isle of Man, the Bailiwick of Guernsey and Alderney
