Lifeboat crew in Grays rescue
12:58pm Thursday 17th January 2008 in News
GRAVESEND RNLI lifeboat was called out on Wednesday evening to assist two Thurrock teenagers who had become cut off by the tide.
London Coastguard requested the lifeboat to launch after receiving reports that two people had climbed aboard the derelict Gull lightship, adjacent to Thurrock Yacht Club, and become trapped by the rising tide.
The lifeboat crew, consisting of crew members Andy Colley, Dave Parry and Graham Tassell, brought the teenagers aboard the lifeboat, before landing them back ashore at Grays.
The pair, a male aged 17 and a female aged 18, were unharmed.
