CAPTAIN TAYLOUR - PCGA - LUBANG SQUADRONOn Tuesday, February 8 2005, the large passenger banca the 'San Polinar' hit a reef and sank off Talatao, Golo Island, at approximately 11am. The vessel was owned by a Mr. Lim of Palawan. A distress call was sent out and the rescue was completed by 1.30am, Wednesday the 9th. of February. The boat carried eight passengers, six crew members, 30 sacks of salt and two sacks of dried squid. A boat passing by took six passengers and the M/Y (Motor Yacht) Kenliss II, owned by Captain Taylour, took another 7. A fatality was identified as Beuna Zapata 42, and listed as missing was Rona Zapata aged 10, and the boat’s skipper, Andres dela Fuente. The survivors were taken to the Lubang Hospital on Lubang Island. The Kenliss II towed the San Polinar back to Tagbac Cove. During his residence at Tagbac Cove, Lubang Island, Captain Taylour (Lord Headfort) was active in the Lubang Squadron of the PCGA and went to the aid of many local fishermen. Reference: Philippine Daily Inquirer - Saturday, April 23,2005 Because I required more than one page to illustrate Lord Headfort's activities in Lubang Island, I have included links to the other pages below: Kenlis House Lord Headfort's Tangal Farm |
