Captain Nicholas Charles Carlton MM (Garrett 1963-1970)

In 33 years at sea Captain Nick Carlton has never heard the cry “man overboard”, until August 2003.  At the time he was Captain of the P&O liner Pacific Sky.  When the shout was made he immediately turned the ship around and headed back to search.  After nearly 3 hours of searching in 25 knot winds and rough seas, the man was remarkably found and brought back on board.  See this article for further information and pictures.
