Cruise ship assisted injured sailor
The "Saga Pearl" with more 400 passengers on board has been forced to make a detour to rescue a stricken sailor in the afternoon of Nov 22, 2014. The ship changed course to assist an injured sailor on a nearby ocean going yacht. The "Saga Pearl 2" had been heading towards Port Grande on the Cape Verdes at that time. The ship pulled alongside the stricken yacht approximately 250 miles from the Mauritian coast. The ship’s doctor along with the Saga Pearl 2’s safety officer boarded the yacht to assist the transfer of the 30-year-old casualty to the cruise liner. The man received treatment to a 12” deep gash to his leg, whilst plans were made to transfer him to a hospital in Porto Grande, off of the West African coast.
