E.M.E.D. now Capitan Christensen
E.M.E.D. the 1928 Walton & Frinton lifeboat built by J. Samuel White, was sold out of service to Chile in 1956. She was a large vessel of her type: 48ft. 6ins. long with a 13ft. beam.
She went to Dunkirk twice in 1940 and survived three enemy air attacks off Gravelines which destroyed boats with which she was in tow. She came back with a rope around her propeller. A shell killed the officer in charge.
