Trapped by the Tide: Rescue Launched After Man Stranded on Rocks Outside Newlyn
Call-Out Triggered Near Newlyn Harbour
Penlee Lifeboat Station was called into action yesterday afternoon, 11th April 2025, after a person became cut off by the rising tide on Larrigan Rocks, just outside Newlyn harbour.
The tasking came from Falmouth Coastguards at 14:38pm. Due to the challenging conditions, including rocky and shallow water, Coxswain Patch Harvey made the decision to launch the all-weather Severn Class lifeboat Ivan Ellen.
