Navy Saviours Honoured by Shipwrecked Mariners Society

Outstanding acts of skill and gallantry during air and sea rescues have been recognised at a national annual awards ceremony of the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society.

Brave mariners and air crewmen from across the UK were honoured at the Society’s Skill and Gallantry Awards held on 7 October, with the awards presented by the Charity’s Patron, HRH The Princess Royal. The Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society has given these awards every year since 1851, highlighting the continuing reliance on the skill and bravery of individuals in rescuing lives and dealing with other emergency situations at sea.
